About the Item

Incredibly bright and stunning to view in person, the colors in this work allow for an overall exciting and vibrant composition. Full of action and capturing the energy and emotion of an arena during a mid-summer's day, Pablo Picasso La Corrida (The Bullfight), 1956 is one of Picasso's best works. "In the work of Picasso, the bull is like one of those Spanish rivers, turbulent and agitated, which lose themselves among the brambles, rocks, and reeds, only to reappear later at some other place further on, in plain sight. There are times when it appears that the bull is adumbrated even in the 'figures' of the painter, figures as profound as they are debatable and enigmatic" (Marrero, 83). Created in 1956, La Corrida (The Bullfight) is a color aquatint by Pablo Picasso (Malaga, 1881 - Mougins, 1973) based on an original oil on canvas of the same title. Hand-signed in pencil in the lower right, this piece is also numbered from the edition of 200 in pencil in the lower left. Printed by Aldo Crommelynck on Arches wove paper, the print features the embossed blindstamp in the lower left margin; it reads: 'Atelier Crommelynck Paris' and further engraved in the plate in black ink in the lower left: 'Aldo Crommelynck Grav.' Published by Atelier Lacourière, Paris.

Le nid vert (The Green Nest), 1950

By Georges Braque

Located in Palo Alto, CA

The bird is Georges Braque's calling card. When the 70-year-old artist was commissioned to create monumental decorations for the Louvre, he chose the bird as his subject. This winged animal appears again and again in his oeuvre, but its representation is noteworthy in this print. To those who would say that Braque is not a draftsman, Dora Vallier writes, "for [him], drawing is not a means of giving outward appearance to forms but of showing what lies within." Along the same lines, Braque himself says, "Forget things, only remember their relationship." These two statements encourage thoughtful viewing. Coming back to its nest and hatched egg, a great black bird is hardly visible against the dark green of its home and the brown leaves behind. Rather than spend time on the details, Braque emphasizes the spatial arrangement of the scene. Everything is compressed down to one level; the curtain of heart-shaped leaves blends together as it falls toward the nest. Braque sees how the tree, nest and bird interrelate, and this entwined relationship is what he chooses to show. Created circa 1950, this original color etching is hand-signed by Georges Braque (Argentueil, Val-d'Oise, 1882 - Paris, 1963) in pencil in the lower right margin and numbered 281/300 in pencil in the lower left margin. The edition was printed by Atelier Krommelinck, Paris on Rives paper, and published by Maeght, Paris. Catalogue Raisonné: Georges Braque The Green Nest (Le nid...
