History Of Georges Braque Paintings

By Darren Hartley


Georges Braque paintings were at the forefront of the revolutionary art movement of Cubism. They focused on still lives and on means of viewing objects from various perspectives through color, line and texture. Georges is best known for Cubist works done in collaboration with Pablo Picasso. However, Georges himself has a long painting career that continued beyond Cubism.

The technique used in the early forefronting Georges Braque paintings leaned towards creative painting. Georges was actually guided towards the technique at a young age. It is construed that his interest in texture and tactility were products of his working with his father as a decorator in his father's decorative painting business.

At age seventeen, Georges moved from Argenteuil to Paris in 1899, accompanied by his friends, Othon Friesz and Raoul Dufy. The earliest Georges Braque paintings were made in the Fauvist style. After giving up his work as a decorator in his father's decorative painting business, Georges pursued painting full time from 1902 to 1905.

Georges and Pablo worked in synchronicity until Georges' return from war in 1914. Georges felt that Pablo betrayed their Cubist systems and rules, when Pablo began painting figuratively. It was then that Georges decided to work on his own Georges Braque paintings.

Georges Braque paintings featured geometric shapes interrupted by musical instruments, grapes or furniture. Their being so three-dimensional contributed to their consideration as important to the development of Cubist sculpture.

As a result of Georges' dedication to depicting space in various ways, other than his Georges Braque paintings, he naturally gravitated to designing sets and costumes for theatre and ballet performances throughout the 1920s. Georges took up landscape painting again in 1929, this time using new, bright colors influenced by Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.
