| Descripción Histórica: | |
| Created with a sensitive attention to color and value, this work is one of many
floral motifs Braque depicted in his lifetime. Deeply saturated tones of ochre
and brown express a subdued mood, while the hints of highlights convey to the
viewer a sense of brightness and energy. A cluster of yellow daisies emerge
from a simple ochre vase with large green leaves fanning either side of the
container. The rich, deep browns of the background create a warm atmosphere
in which the volume and details in the subject matter stand out. The texture
within the flowers, leaves, and vase allude to the thick painterly quality of
the original painting from which this work is based. A suggestion of lighting
is seen in the accented areas of the vase and small center leaf, implying that
the room in which the artist created this work may have been minutely illuminated.
Of the still life Braque stated, "the still life is a tactile, even manual space in contrast to the space of the landscape, which is a visual space." Further commenting upon the importance of the still life within Braque's career, it has been stated, "his still lifes are absolutely not intended to 'look real' - far from it. For a long time, they represented the crystallization of his thinking and his investigations into three-dimensional space and space-time" (Karadontis).

Georges Braque biografía
Georges Braque (1882 - 1963)
Georges Braque was born on May 13, 1882, in Argenteuil-sur-Seine, France. He grew up in Le Havre and studied evenings at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts there from about 1897 to 1899. He left for Paris to study under a master decorator to receive his craftsman certificate in 1901. From 1902 to 1904, he painted at the Académie Humbert in Paris, where he met Marie Laurencin and Francis Picabia. By 1906, Braque's work was no longer Impressionist but Fauve in style; after spending that summer in Antwerp with Othon Friesz, he showed his Fauve work the following year in the Salon des Indépendants in Paris. His first solo show was at Daniel-Henri Kahnweiler's gallery in 1908. From 1909, Pablo Picasso and Braque worked together in developing Cubism; by 1911, their styles were extremely similar. In 1912, they started to incorporate collage elements into their paintings and to experiment with the papier collé (pasted paper) technique. Their artistic collaboration lasted until 1914. Braque served in the French army during World War I and was wounded; upon his recovery in 1917, he began a close friendship with Juan Gris.
After World War I, Braque's work became freer and less schematic. His fame grew in 1922 as a result of an exhibition at the Salon d'Automne in Paris. In the mid-1920s, Braque designed the decor for two Sergei Diaghilev ballets. By the end of the decade, he had returned to a more realistic interpretation of nature, although certain aspects of Braque's Cubism always remained present in his work. In 1931, Braque made his first engraved plasters and began to portray mythological subjects. His first important retrospective took place in 1933 at the Kunsthalle Basel. He won First Prize at the Carnegie International, Pittsburgh, in 1937.
During World War II, Braque remained in Paris. His paintings at that time, primarily still lifes and interiors, became more somber. In addition to paintings, he also made Braque etchings, lithographs, engravings, prints and sculpture. From the late 1940s, he treated various recurring themes, such as birds, ateliers, landscapes, and seascapes. In 1954, he designed stained-glass windows for the church of Varengeville. During the last few years of his life, Braque's ill health prevented him from undertaking further large-scale commissions, but he continued to paint, make lithographs, and design jewelry. He died on August 31, 1963, in Paris.
