AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Book 1: G. Braque (Draeger Monograph)
Full title: G. Braque
Texts by: Francis Ponge, Pierre Descargues and André Malraux
Publisher: Draeger Imprimeurs, Paris (also published in English by Harry N. Abrams, New York)
Year of publication: 1971
Number of pages: 265 pages (containing 152 spectacular illustrations, of which 86 are full-page color and numerous applied reproductions)
Description: A luxury art monograph, legendary for the extremely high quality of typography printing carried out by Draeger. It is issued without a dust jacket, as it was originally bound in a sumptuous all-blue ocean cloth binding. The front board is silkscreened with the famed graphic motif of the two white birds in flight and the artist’s calligraphic signature, a late-modern iconography of Georges Braque’s work.
Book 2: Georges Braque (Catalog of Haus der Kunst München)
Full title: Georges Braque: 18. Oktober bis 15. Dezember 1963
Edited by / Texts by: Douglas Cooper (with a preface by Herbert List)

Description: Important and historic exhibition catalog in a flexible softcover format with jackets.
