An original lithograph print by Georges Braque (1882–1963), one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and co-founder of Cubism alongside Pablo Picasso. This particular piece features Braque’s iconic bird motif—a recurring symbol in his later work, often representing peace, transcendence, and artistic freedom.
Set against an abstract wash of soft yellow and pale blue, the bold black silhouette of the bird captures the essence of Braque’s minimalist yet emotionally resonant style. Though abstract in form, the image conveys remarkable motion and presence—floating freely, almost dreamlike, in composition and colour.
This lithograph is signed in the plate by Braque, and while not numbered, it is consistent with the artist’s livres d’artiste and limited-edition prints created during the 1950s–60s. The piece is professionally mounted in a blue lacquered frame with a complementary cream mount, lending a contemporary finish while respecting the work’s mid-century roots.
About Georges Braque:
Braque’s artistic evolution saw him move from Fauvism to Cubism, and later into lyrical abstraction. After WWII, birds became a central motif in his art, appearing in his ceiling for the Louvre’s Etruscan Room (1952–53), and in numerous lithographs, collages, and illustrated books. Braque believed the bird symbolised freedom of the spirit—a visual metaphor for poetic thought.
Dimensions (approx.):
Frame: 86 cm wide x 66.5 cm high
