Did You Know?

This print was published by Georges Braque's dealer as a means of promoting the artist's avant-garde style.

Description

Georges Braque worked closely with Pablo Picasso to develop Cubism around the time this print was made. Their work became virtually indistinguishable from each other as they reduced identifiable subject matter to geometric abstraction. Here, Braque presented a still-life featuring a playing card and a bottle of gin. Although Picasso worked extensively in printmaking, Braque made fewer than ten Cubist prints.
Black-inked print on cream paper with a loosely triangular shape composed of fine, straight lines and semi-circles intersecting with blotches of frenetic, curved hashes. Obscured in one of these blotches near the center of the print is the word "GIN" and, in open space to the right of that, "FOX."
