BRAQUE, Georges
The Portuguese; fine collotype. Published by the renowned Albert Skira, Paris, in 1946.
Description
The Skira suites were renowned for their fine scholarship and high quality lithography.
In excellent condition, without fading or colour loss.
The original painting depicts a Portuguese musician playing a guitar at a bar. His form is completely fractured into shimmering, transparent geometric planes, and yet retains its essence.
The Portuguese is famously monochromatic, relying on a narrow palette of browns, greys, and olive tones. In standard mid-century printing, such similar shades easily bled into a flat, dark smudge. Skira’s meticulous presswork isolated the delicate, individual layers of transparent tone, ensuring that the collotypes retained the luminosity of the original work.
Framed and glazed; ultra modern composite frame.
Image, 25.3x20.7cm; external, 43.4x33.2cm.
