G.Braque: An Exhibition of Paintings

Artist: Georges Braque 
Author: Douglas Cooper 
Publisher: Arts Council 
Date: 1956 
Condition: The matt card covers show a little tanning to the edges and some light handling marks, but overall this catalogue is in lovely, clean and undamaged condition.

Braque was, like Picasso and Matisse, one of the major influences on British art in the post-war years, so this show at the Tate Gallery in 1956 would have offered a fantastic opportunity for the artists of the day to stand in front of his works. Part of a run of what now appear to be incredible exhibitions in London in the mid 1950s (Mondrian, Pollock, de Stael, US c20th art, to name but a few), this catalogue, illustrated almost entirely in black and white, is stuffed to bursting with wonderful examples of Braque's art.
