About the Artwork:
"Oiseau et Lotus" is a poetic original color lithograph created in 1963 by the legendary Georges Braque, the pioneer of Cubism. This work is a centerpiece of his late-career "Birds" series, where Braque explored themes of freedom, space, and the rhythmic harmony of nature.
A Symbol of Peace and Freedom:
Braque was motivated by the serene energy of flight. The white bird, soaring above abstract lotus-like forms, represents a bridge between the earthly and the spiritual. The composition moves away from strict Cubist fragmentation toward a lyrical, "organic" abstraction that feels both ancient and modern.
Mastery of Printmaking:
Printed in Paris by the masters at ARTE and Mourlot, this lithograph captures the exceptional ink density and textural depth typical of Braque's mature graphic oeuvre. The Dove Watermark on the paper is a historic mark of prestige, synonymous with the highest standards of 20th-century printmaking.
A Blue-Chip Investment:
Georges Braque remains a cornerstone of modern art. This authentic 1963 lithograph is a prestigious fine art investment
