G. Braque - Galerie Maeght - 13 rue de Téhéran
Georges Braque
French, 1882–1963
1947
A 1947 lithograph poster by Georges Braque announcing his show at Galerie Maeght, in which the artist translates his still‑life and Cubist-inflected vocabulary into a public, graphic format.
Your eye is caught by the blocky, stenciled name “G. BRAQUE” and gallery text laid over looping, lute‑like and vegetal shapes rendered in visible brushstrokes and a muted gray, cream, and yellow palette that blurs painting and print.
The work shows how mid‑20th‑century artists brought their painterly language into commercial design—using lithography to merge fine art and publicity and to shape the look of the postwar Paris art scene.
