Georges Braque Art Prints, Lithographs & Pochoirs
A key player in 20th century art, French painter and sculptor Georges Braque (1882 - 1963) largely influenced and developed the
Cubism art style. Early on, Braque’s style of art was impressionistic; however, he soon adopted a Fauvist style after experiencing the work of The Fauves. The term “Fauves,” or Beasts, included artwork by other influential artists whom we feature: Henri Matisse and Andre Derain, among others.
After gaining exposure through his Fauvist works, Georges Braque’s artwork soon took on a more geometrical style. Much of the Georges Braque art after 1909 involved paintings reducing a structure to a cubist, geometrical form; this allowed the Georges Braque Cubism paintings to look both planar and 3D at the same time. Similarly incorporating this cubist style of painting at the time was
Pablo Picasso, with whom Braque began to work closely. This is one of many reasons Georges Braque's art is considered to be synonymous with the Cubist movement.
