Georges Braque
open-in-new
<p>Georges Braque was a major 20th-century <a href="/facts/List_of_French_artists/vIt6Sxsh">French painter</a>, <a href="/facts/Collage/RUxSBkln">collagist</a>, <a href="/facts/Drawing/DA7GfHNW">draughtsman</a>, <a href="/facts/Printmaker/9maDzuae">printmaker</a> and sculptor. His most notable contributions were in his alliance with <a href="/facts/Fauvism/HTGTXBLl">Fauvism</a> from 1905, and the role he played in the development of <a href="/facts/Cubism/wmpXU7Tn">Cubism</a>. Braque's work between 1908 and 1912 is closely associated with that of his colleague <a href="/facts/Pablo_Picasso/qM7WAcBA">Pablo Picasso</a>. 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. </p>
