About Birds

The artwork titled “Birds” was created by artist Georges Braque in 1957. Originating from France, this piece is a lithograph on paper, and it exemplifies the Expressionism art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 30.5 x 60.6 cm, and it falls under the genre of animal painting.

“Birds” by Georges Braque features a stylized representation of birds, a recurring theme in Braque’s later works. The composition is notably abstract, characterized by geometric shapes and a limited color palette that suggests the silhouette of the birds against a textured background. Braque’s use of dark tones sharply contrasts with the lighter background, contributing to a sense of depth and dynamism in the depiction of the avian subjects. The artwork exhibits Braque’s interest in the rhythm and structure rather than the realistic portrayal of the birds, reflecting his exploration into the boundaries of visual representation and his contribution to the Expressionist movement, where emotional experience is prioritized over physical reality.
