Description: Georges Braque was a central figure in the twentieth century’s most radical aesthetic experiments, most importantly Cubism. But after s being wounded in World War I, his approach to Cubism became less severe, more contemplative, and with a greater emphasis on color and texture. His Pot of Anemones from 1925 still bears the expressive distortion of form and the optical concerns of Cubism. But it is couched in a pleasing floral still-life subject and attractive color harmonies that reveal new concerns, interests, and artistic priorities at work.
