Lithograph "Marine" by Georges Braque (1882–1963)

I’ve found a lithograph by Georges Braque (1882–1963) (on artnet)…

Georges Braque is regarded, alongside Picasso, as a co-founder of Cubism (c. 1908), a movement in which objects are radically broken down into geometric forms and thus abstracted. From 1912 onwards, he produced works using the collage technique (papiers collés), which was adopted by a wide range of artists in the decades that followed.

His late work emerged after the Second World War, and it was particularly his minimalist bird motifs that became famous.

Another subject of these years was fishing boats on the Normandy coast (around Varengeville-sur-Mer), a theme to which this print also belongs.

The print is from a series published by Aimé Maeght and is signed on the printing plate. The print also appeared in the magazine Derrière le miroir (Issue Nr. 48-49, 1952), though there it was folded in the middle.
