Original aquatint printed in colors on BFK Rives wove paper - Published by Paris, Maeght - Hand signed

Georges Braque’s 'Vase de Fleurs Jaunes' (circa 1955) is a vibrant aquatint that captures the delicate beauty of yellow flowers in a vase against a warm, textured background. Rendered in bold, earthy tones, the yellow blossoms contrast strikingly with the dark backdrop, creating a sense of depth and warmth. Braque, known for his contributions to Cubism, displays a more traditional style here, focusing on form and color harmony. This limited edition aquatint, printed on BFK Rives wove paper and published by Maeght in Paris, is part of a rare edition of 300. The print is hand-signed by the artist, adding a personal touch to this piece that blends Braque’s unique artistic vision with a classic floral motif.

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.
