Georges Braque
Georges Braque Photograph by Sanford RothGeorges Braque, April 20 through June 5, 1960, Pasadena Art Museum, Pasadena, California
Georges Braquewas born in May 13,1882, in Argenteuil-sur-Seine, near Paris. He was inspired by the painter Paul Cezanne. Braque's interest in Cézanne's strangely distorted forms andunconventional perspective led him to paint in the manner that came to be known as cubism.
He studied the effects of light and perspective and the technical means that painters use to represent these effects.He questioned most standard artistic conventions.
He would reduce an architectural structure to a geometric form; for example, a cube or a rectangular prism.
He would rendered its shading so that its volume seemed to looked both flat and three-dimensional. This would call attentionto the very nature of visual illusion and artistic representation.

He began to experiment with collage, a technique of constructing an image from
the materials of everyday life such; newspapers,
labels, and pieces of fabric.

In about 1910 -1912, He produced paintings of neutralized color and complex patterns of faceted forms, which is now called analytic cubism
In Cubism the subject matter is broken down, analyzed, and reassembled in an abstracted form.

Braque’s compositions are broken into planes with open edges, sliding into each other. Color is reduced to a gray-tan, it is applied uniformly in small brushstrokes creating vibrations of light. “The interpenetration of the forms lends these paintings a previously unknown aspect of continuity and density”
This is what happen during his life time
