Lithograph, 1962 Edition : 125 ex. Publisher : André Sauret (Monte-Carlo) Printer : Mourlot (Paris) Catalog : [Vallier 188, p. 284] 33.00 cm. x 52.00 cm. 12.99 in. x 20.47 in. (paper) Handsigned by the artist in pencil Certificate of authenticity Double page In this lithograph, Georges Braque offers a poetic interpretation of the bouquet, an enduring symbol of fleeting beauty. True to his belief that “one must not imitate what one wishes to create,” he composes an image born of imagination rather than observation. At the center of a medallion, the purple flowers unfold their radiance, enhanced by subtle touches of blue. The whole exudes a rare visual poetry, blending delicacy and intensity. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
