Wood engraving printed in blue, on Japon paper Hand signed lower right. Printed by Féquet and Baudier, Paris. Published by Louis Broder, Paris. Reference: Vallier 181. // Si je mourais là-bas (1962) is one of Georges Braque's last major graphic works, a wood engraving printed in deep blue on Japon paper -- a choice of extraordinary refinement. The title, drawn from a poem by Guillaume Apollinaire, lends the work a quietly elegiac tone: If I were to die over there. The composition is characteristic of Braque's late style: spare, meditative, and charged with a sense of deep time. Printed by Féquet and Baudier in Paris and published by Louis Broder, this work belongs to the tradition of the livre d'artiste, where text and image enter into close dialogue. Hand signed lower right and catalogued as Vallier 181, Si je mourais là-bas is a profound final statement from one of the founders of Cubism -- intimate in scale yet vast in resonance.

What is Cubism?
Cubism is an art movement that aimed to depict multiple perspectives of objects or figures within a single picture. Artists Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso pioneered this style around 1907. The name Cubism emerged from their use of geometric shapes and outlines that often resembled cubes, breaking objects down into abstracted forms.
