Cahier de George Braque, 1948

In this book Georges Braque records his thoughts on art and life in his own handwriting and with his own illustrations. They are reproduced with ninety-four black and white photolithographs. During World War I Braque was wounded in the head and was temporarily blinded. This injury prevented him from painting for over a year. He resumed working in 1916 and the personal notes in this book began that year. This book has been very popular. It started its life in 1947 with a limited edition of only ninety-five signed copies of ninety-four pages each including three photolithographs, two in color. The second edition appeared in 1948 in two versions: one with a single lithograph and 750 unsigned copies on vélin du Marais, of which this copy is one, and another with a signed color lithograph and ninety-five copies on vélin d’Arches. The cover of this second edition is the same lithograph as for the first edition but it is printed in a single shade of blue rather than two shades of blue. On the half-title page, handwritten and lithographed, Braque erroneously wrote "Cahier de Georges Braque 1917-1947" rather than 1916-1947 as the cover lithograph indicates, and the error has been part of the book’s title and cataloging ever since. In 1956 Maeght worked with Pierre-André Benoit to produce a supplement which added twenty-four pages, which are included with this copy. Printed by Fernand Mourlot.
