Georges Braque
Georges Braque, born in Argenteuil, France, in 1882, was a pioneering figure in the development of Cubism alongside Pablo Picasso. Braque studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Le Havre and later moved to Paris, where he became involved with the Fauvist movement. His early career shifted dramatically after meeting Picasso, leading to the co-creation of Cubism. Notable works include "Houses at L’Estaque" and "Violin and Candlestick." Braque's style evolved to incorporate fragmented forms and multiple perspectives, fundamentally changing modern art. His work is held in major institutions like the Museum of Modern Art and the Centre Pompidou. Braque died in 1963, leaving a profound legacy in art history. Read more about Arts.
