1949
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1949 ink by Georges Braque, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a dark background with a simple teapot and two bright yellow lemons. The teapot has a spout and lid, and a red streak runs along the table’s edge. The colors are mostly muted except for the lemons, which stand out sharply. The artist used a printing method called lithography, which lets them create bold shapes with flat colors. This piece feels quiet but has a surprising twist with the bright lemons against the dark. Look up lithography to see how this printing technique works.
Georges Braque ( BRA(H)K; French: ; 13 May 1882 – 31 August 1963) was a major 20th-century French painter, collagist, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor.
