This volume focuses on the works of French painter (and sometimes sculptor) Georges Braque created in the later years of his career, between the end of World War II and his death in 1963. A major figure in twentieth-century French art, Braque remained truthful to the principles of his early cubist paintings yet demonstrated an increased freedom and poetic quality in several major series during his later years-the Interiors, Billiard Tables, Studios, and Bird paintings. Braque was a major figure in 20th century art, who along with Pablo Picasso, developed the art style known as Cubism. The Royal Academy of Arts, London, and the Menil Collection, Houston, collaborated on this exhibition catalog of later paintings by Braque. Color plates highlight 47 still lifes and landscapes.
