The same year, Braque's style began a slow evolution as he became influenced by Paul Cézanne who had died in 1906 and whose works were exhibited in Paris for the first time in a large-scale, museum-like retrospective in September 1907. In May 1907, he successfully exhibited works of the Fauve style in the Salon des Indépendants. In 1906, Braque traveled with Friesz to L'Estaque, to Antwerp, and home to Le Havre to paint. Braque worked most closely with the artists Raoul Dufy and Othon Friesz, who shared Braque's hometown of Le Havre, to develop a somewhat more subdued Fauvist style. The Fauves, a group that included Henri Matisse and André Derain among others, used brilliant colors to represent emotional response. It was here that he met Marie Laurencin and Francis Picabia.īraque's earliest works were impressionistic, but after seeing the work exhibited by the artistic group known as the " Fauves" (Beasts) in 1905, he adopted a Fauvist style. The next year, he attended the Académie Humbert, also in Paris, and painted there until 1904. In Paris, he apprenticed with a decorator and was awarded his certificate in 1902.
However, he also studied artistic painting during evenings at the École des Beaux-Arts, in Le Havre, from about 1897 to 1899. He grew up in Le Havre and trained to be a house painter and decorator like his father and grandfather. Georges Braque was born on in Argenteuil, Val-d'Oise. Their respective Cubist works were indistinguishable for many years, yet the quiet nature of Braque was partially eclipsed by the fame and notoriety of Picasso. Braque’s work between 19 is closely associated with that of his colleague Pablo Picasso. His most important contributions to the history of art were in his alliance with Fauvism from 1906, and the role he played in the development of Cubism. Georges Braque (/brɑːk/ French: – 31 August 1963) was a major 20th-century French painter, collagist, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor. By the time of his death in 1963, he was regarded as one of the elder statesmen of the School of Fines art in Paris, as well as in modern art.
Whereas Picasso freely painted in many styles, from representational to cubist, surreal, and abstract, Braque held true to his fragmented forms and simultaneous perspective. After his return from the war, in which he was seriously wounded in the battlefield, Braque moved away from the harsh lines and sharp pointed complexity of the cubist style, and instead began to paint pieces with bright colors and eventually return to the human figure.Īlthough he departed from his harsh lines and forms, Braque never abandoned his cubist style. The two artists worked closely together until the outbreak of World War I, upon which Braque joined the French Amy and left Picasso’s side. The ultimate result of their time together was the development of a new style of painting, Analytic Cubism. They painted side by side in the French Pyrenees, producing paintings that extremely difficult to differentiate each other’s paintings. The summer of 1911 was especially fruitful for the artists. Both artists produced representative paintings with a monochromatic color scheme and interlocking blocks and complex forms. The development of cubism came shortly after Braque met and began working with Pablo Picasso, in 1909. By 1907, his fauvist works were exhibited a the Salon des Independents. In 1902, he received his certificate as a decorator, but still attended art school, at the Humbert Academy, where he studied until 1904.īraque’s early works were impressionistic, but transitioned into a fauvist style after seeing work exhibited by the Fauves in 1905. As a young adult, he worked during the day as a house painter and decorator, in the same line of work as his father and grandfather, and he attended evening classes at the School of Fine Arts in Le Havre, France. A prominent figure in the development of cubism, Georges Braque was a French painter and sculptor.
