A fully-illustrated color catalog published by the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, The Phillips Collection, and Prestel is available in the Museum Shop or through Prestel. The catalog is by Karen K. Butler in collaboration with Renée Maurer and includes contributions by Karen K. Butler, Patricia Favero, Uwe Fleckner, Gordon Hughes, Narayan Khandekar, Renée Maurer, Erin Mysak, and Éric Trudel, as well as first-time English translations of Jean Paulhan's Braque le Patron (1945) and Carl Einstein's introduction to Braque's 1933 retrospective exhibition at the Kunsthalle Basel. Reproduced in vivid color, Braque's paintings are accompanied by scholarly essays that explore the rise of Braque's popularity in the United States, including his first major retrospective in America and the reception of his work of the early 1930s and 1940s by German and French critics, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the materials and process employed by the artist as illuminated by an intensive conservation study of select important works.
