"This handsome volume pays tribute to the genius of Georges Braque. The whole astonishing range of his oeuvre is represented from the early Fauvist masterpieces through the daring experiments with which he and Picasso launched the Cubist revolution in modern art to the classically inspired canvases of the 1920s and the lyrical abstractions of his later years. Paintings drawings sculptures frescoes collages graphic works stained-glass windows–all conceived and executed with that elegance and élan which characterize the style of Braque–are reproduced here with infinite care. And thanks to the cooperation of the artist's estate the wealth of illustrations including 96 plates in full color includes a number of major works never before published." Publisher. Beautifully illustrated with color and b/w reproductions of his work throughout including two gatefolds one of them the three-panel color reproduction of "The Three Bathers."
