Later on, he spent much time working alongside with Picasso, managing to transform Fauvism into Cubism as a new art style. He knew at this time Andre Derain and Henri Matisse. Unlike other fauvist painters, Braque paid attention not only to the position of the colour elements on the plane of the picture but also to building space.Įven at that time, he was inspired by the compositions of Cézanne more, than by the colours used by Van Gogh. He then discovered Fauvism, and followed the colour and styles of this art movement. By 1907, his fauvist works were exhibited at the Salon des Independents. A distinctive feature of his works during that period was not only a unique decorative beauty but also much more vivid than that of other artists, constructiveness of the composition. 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. He was born in a small town near Paris and was at the time inspired by the French Impressionists and Post- Impressionists artists of the Parisian art society.Īs a young man, 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. He is most well known for being the founder of Cubism alongside Pablo Picasso, although he did other form of works, such as Impressionism, Fauvism, and even some collage styles of work, which brought together a series of imaginative pieces, bold colours, and distinct shapes and styles of art. Georges Braque is one of the most eminent French artists if the 20th century. Light and space are closely related and we dealt with them together." The only aspect of colour that interested us was light. This space attached me so much because the quest for space was foremost a Cubist quest. So I began concentrating on the still life, because the still life possesses a tactile space one might almost describe as “manual"… For me, this corresponded to a wish I had always had in touch a thing rather than simply to look at it. "What attached me in particular and became the main direction in Cubism, was the materialisation of the new space that I sensed.
