About the Item
An intricate and artful Hebe brooch designed by Georges Braque in 1962 and produced by Baron Heger de Löwenfeld in the 1965.
The brooch is crafted in 18k yellow and white gold and features diamonds. It has a pin closure along with two loops to be worn as a pendant.
The artist based the brooch’s design on a 1950 drawing called ‘Tête Grecque’ and the gouache ‘Bijoux de Braque’ called ‘Hebe.’ The brooch is inspired by the Greek Goddess of Youth, the daughter of Zeus.
The vintage Braque Hebe pin pendant is made of 18 karat yellow and white gold and accented with round brilliant cut diamonds (G-H color, VS clarity, approximately 1.90 carats total weight).
The Georges Braque Hebe pendant measures 2 ¾” x 1 ½” (7.3 x 4 cm) and weighs 22.6 grams.
The pin is stamped "Bijoux de G Braque, 1/8" and it also carries French hallmarks for 18 karat gold and workshop marks. So, there were eight Hebe pins/pendants made and this one was the first one.
About Georges Braque:
Georges Braque, one of the most acclaimed visual artists, was mostly famed as a founder of Cubism alongside with Pablo Picasso. In his final years Braque did many birds in flight studies. Nowadays, they are sold via auctions.
In the 1960s, Braque teamed up with Baron Heger de Lowenfeld, a gem cutter and entrepreneur. Together they produced Braque’s only jewelry collection called “Bijoux De Braque”. One of the themes for Braque’s jewels was flying birds. They symbolize Space and Time and appeared in many of his paintings.
Braque had a concept of beauty expressed through volume, weight, and subjective impression. The whole idea of making jewelry for him was translating his artworks into three dimensional wearable sculptures. He used the themes from his graphic works and lithographs for the jewelry visuals. The pieces were massively critically acclaimed. For instance, the first exhibit called 'One hundred jewels by Georges Braque' attracted over 50,000 visitors. The French state purchased eleven pieces at the event.

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.
