1954
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1954 ink by Georges Braque, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a simple scene: a light-colored vase with a narrow neck sits on a dark surface. Inside it, green leaves and flowers spill over the rim. The background is mostly black with a warm orange stripe at the top, and the edges of the paper look torn or rough. The way the colors are flat and the shapes are simplified makes it feel less like a photo and more like a quick sketch. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on the surface without blending. Next, check out lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
Georges Braque ( BRA(H)K; French: ; 13 May 1882 – 31 August 1963) was a major 20th-century French painter, collagist, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor.
