 G. Braque, Viaduct at L´Estaque, 1908. |
Georges Braque began working with is father as a decorator. Ca. 1900 he travelled to Paris. There he had the chance to learn Vanguardism of his age. He knew Fauvism, Matisse's art and met Derain. Indeed Cézanne became an important discovering for him. Nevertheless, it would be a meeting with Picasso what would take him to give his production a new shift. Both will undertake the adventure of Cubism.
Braque is an artist who performs well a pure cubist style, as Picasso
and Juan Gris did.
