Milestone Monday
May 13th is the birthday of French artist Georges Braque (1882-1963). Braque was a prolific painter, collagist, draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor recognized for his commitment and contributions to the Fauvism and Cubism movements. Braque is credited with developing Cubism alongside his contemporary and studio mate Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and described their partnership “like being roped together on a mountain.” Aside from a short enlistment with the French Army, Braque spent his entire life creating art and left behind an abundant catalog of work.
Catalogue de l'œuvre de Georges Braque : peintures is a six volume collection of Braque’s paintings from 1916 – 1957. Published by Maeght Éditeur in 1973, each volume is cloth-covered with a colored embossed design by Braque and contains hundreds of facsimiles of Braque’s work with contextual notes on collections, exhibitions, and reproduction history. His textural fragmented style coupled with lavish paint and use of color is perceivable even in the catalog’s predominantly black and white images. Braque is considered a statesman of modern art and also attributed with inventing the papier collé technique highlighted in Volume One of the catalog.
