fun fact:
This print was published by Georges Braque's dealer as a means of promoting the artist's avant-garde style.
digital 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.
wall description:
Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque worked closely together to develop Cubism around the time these prints were 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, and Picasso focused on a guitarist—subjects that they frequently explored. Although Picasso worked extensively in printmaking, Braque made fewer than ten Cubist prints. Both of these works were published by dealers as a means of promoting the artists’ avant-garde style.
