// Georges Braque's Greek Profile M. 76 – 146, a limited edition lithograph from 1960, measures 57.8 x 47 cm. The piece presents a stylized Greek profile within a circular frame, emphasizing Braque’s fascination with classical motifs reinterpreted through his modernist lens. The use of bold, flowing lines and muted tones creates a sense of movement and depth. The figure’s abstraction reveals Braque’s skill in merging traditional themes with contemporary expression, giving a dynamic, almost ethereal quality to the profile. The lithograph’s balanced composition and meticulous detailing invite viewers to explore the interplay of form and artistic interpretation, characteristic of Braque’s innovative approach.

Georges Braque (France, 1882–1963) was a seminal figure in modern art and a co-founder of Cubism alongside Pablo Picasso. His work, characterized by fragmented forms and muted palettes, explored the interplay between perspective and abstraction. Later, he developed the papier collé technique, influencing the evolution of collage and modern painting.

Georges Braque

Greek Profile M. 76 – 146, 1960

Limited Edition Print

Georges Braque (b. 1882 France, d. 1963 France) was a French painter, collagist, and sculptor who, alongside Pablo Picasso, is credited with developing Cubism, one of the most influential art movements of the 20th century. Braque's early work was influenced by Fauvism, characterized by vibrant colors and bold brushwork. However, his collaboration with Picasso around 1907 marked a significant shift in his style, leading to the development of Analytical Cubism, which deconstructed objects into geometric shapes and depicted multiple perspectives within a single plane. Later, he transitioned to Synthetic Cubism, incorporating elements such as stenciled text and collage into his paintings. Braque's work is known for its subtle use of color, intricate compositions, and a focus on everyday objects, often emphasizing the tactile qualities of surfaces. His exploration of form and space had a profound impact on the trajectory of modern art, and his works are held in major museums worldwide, including the Louvre in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

What is Cubism?

Cubism is an art movement that aimed to depict multiple perspectives of objects or figures within a single picture. Artists Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso pioneered this style around 1907. The name Cubism emerged from their use of geometric shapes and outlines that often resembled cubes, breaking objects down into abstracted forms.
