The Yellow Bouquet (Primary Title)
Le Bouquet Jaune (Translation)
Georges Braque, French, 1882 - 1963 (Artist)
During the last decades of his career, Braque expanded the range of his artistic output from paintings to include color lithographs, stained glass, and sculpture. Creating a series of still life paintings in which the subject is depicted against a stark background, Braque explored the relationship between figure and ground.
