Verve Braque. The Intimate Sketchbooks of G. Braque. Verve Vol. VII No. 31/32.
Paris Verve Magazine 1955 First Edition Decorative Boards Very Good No Jacket Magazine / Journal Georges Braque
157pp. Stunning special double-edition. As the copyright page note says: 'The illustrations in this volume are reproduced from the sketch-books, carnets de travail, which Georges Braque has been keeping up for thirty years and more, and which constitute a daily record of fragments of the visible world that have caught his attention and ideas for paintings that have occurred to him. In fact the only difference between these sketch-books and the diaries kept by so many writers is that here the entries are not written but take the form of gouache or watercolor sketches. Hitherto Braque has always refused to make public these albums, which he takes with him wherever he goes and which comprise the bulk of his work as a draftsman. Now at long last he has authorized the reproduction of a number of pages of these albums, selected by himself with our co-operation. This double number of VERVE, whose cover has been specially designed by Braque himself, has been produced by the Master Printers DRAEGER Freres as for the heliogravures in colors and in black, and by MOURLOT Freres for the lithography in colors. Printing was completed, in Paris, 1955 on the 20th day of September.' Some chipping to the spine edges but the inside is exquisite. Tiny signature of previous owner on f.e.p.
