About the Item
Georges Braque Cinq Poésies en Hommage à Georges Braque (Five Poems in Homage to Georges Braque), 1958 is the image Braque designed for the cover of a book containing five poems by René Char in homage to Braque himself. In the lower left of the image lies a stylized black bird, a common pictorial motif in Braque’s oeuvre. Both the bird and the disembodied head to the left of the composition are facing to the right, which would have been in the direction of the cover’s opening. The parallel directionality of the bird and the head create a sense of movement and drama that emphasizes what lies within the pages of the book. Such interplay between the bird and head attests to the compositional balance repeatedly found in Braque’s work. Georges Braque Cinq Poésies en Hommage à Georges Braque (Five Poems in Homage to Georges Braque), 1958 represents a beautiful collaboration between the visual arts and poetry.
Created in 1958, Georges Braque Cinq Poésies en Hommage à Georges Braque (Five Poems in Homage to Georges Braque), 1958 is a color lithograph on Japon nacre.

Georges Braque
Georges Braque was born in Argenteuil, France, in 1882. Braque lived much of his childhood and young adult life in Le Havre. He attended night classes at the art school from 1897–99 and then moved to Paris, where he obtained his license as a master decorator. From 1905–06, after studying at École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and having been influenced by the works of Henri Matisse, he began to paint in the way of Fauvism by using bright colors and taking advantage of the freedom of the composition. Paysage à L'Estaque (1906) was one of the prominent works of art made at this time.
The year 1907 was a significant time in Braque's development, wherein he visited the retrospective on Paul Cézanne and he came into contact with Picasso, who was very engrossed in the realization of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon at the time. At this point, Braque began nurturing a considerable interest in primitive art. After the First World War, Braque worked autonomously and developed a more personal style, which was characterized by vivid colors and textured surfaces. Braque painted still life, interior views, and ocean scenes. The Ateliers (1948–55) and Birds (1955–63) series were painted during this period. In 1948, he obtained his first award for painting at the XXIV Biennial in Venice.

- L'efant aux biscuit (Child with Cookie)By Pierre-Auguste RenoirLocated in Palo Alto, CAAn intimate portrait of his second son, Jean Renoir (1894 – 1979), evokes a childlike sentiment and love that Renoir had for his children. Most likely no more than age 3, Jean is shown here with a cookie, beneath a frilly bonnet characteristic of late 19th century French society. His pink, rosy cheeks are defined with rich, glowing hues that contrast from the pale yellow and grey background in which he rests. Jean was also featured in a family portrait of the Renoirs, titled La Famille de l’Artiste (1896). Created in 1899, this Color Lithograph on Cream Laid Paper is from the edition of 100, from the unpublishedL’Album d’estampes originales de la Galerie Vollard; printed by Auguste Clot, Paris.

The logs appear as though arranged on a platter, presented to the viewer for contemplation. An intriguing aspect of this piece is the tiny box...Category
