Eugen Herrigel's book, which appeared in the 1950s, "Zen in the Chivalrous Art of Archery", had a large readership among artists and helped bring Zen to the West. Braque was one of them. He even illustrated the book in 1960. Lithographs have been reprinted like the lithograph presented here, a work of colors and effects of great subtlety, which photography cannot account for. This work is part of a separate print, it constitutes the double cover page of the book (which explains the central fold, constituting the work). Braque’s two birds gracefully embody this central theme of Braque’s work.
