Description

Georges Braque (1882-1963) - The Birds. Colour lithograph on Arches wove paper with untrimmed edges, 86 x 61 cm. Lithographed by Henri Deschamps and printed by the atelier Mourlot. Signed in pencil by the lithographer Henri Deschamps lower right and enriched with a handwritten note "À l'ombre de Georges Braque". Condition A, perfect state of preservation. This masterly work takes up one of the most iconic and spiritual themes of Braque's late period: the bird in flight, a symbol of freedom and formal simplicity. The technical production, entrusted to Henri Deschamps - the master's closest and most loyal collaborator at Mourlot - guarantees absolute fidelity to the line and chromatic nuances of the original. The handwritten note "In the shadow of Georges Braque" underlines the exceptional nature of this print and the vibrant tribute paid by the artist to his mentor. The support on large Arches vellum with vat edges gives this print a remarkable nobility and visual presence, making this lithograph a historic testimony to the collaboration between one of the greatest painters of the 20th century and the finest craftsmen in French printmaking.
