Birds

The painting titled 'Birds' is a classic example of 20th-century French artist Georges Braque's knack for lithography on paper, a process that involves creating a design on a stone plate with oil-based ink and then printing it on a flat surface. This artwork marries elements of both expressionism and animal painting. As an integral part of the Cubist movement, Braque's style is evident in the painting. A stark shift from his work with Fauvism, 'Birds' heavily features disjointed perspectives on everyday objects, in this case, the birds. The expressive and non-naturalistic makeup of the birds reflects incredulous aspects of surrealism, a testament to Braque's multifaceted mastery.
