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.
Georges took papier colles, a pasted paper collage technique that he and Pablo Picasso invented in 1912, one step further, through the gluing of cut-up advertisements into his Cubist Georges Braque paintings. This was actually a foreshadowing of modern art movements concerned with critiquing media, including Pop art.
The earliest Georges Braque paintings pursued Fauvist ideas, in coordination with Henri Matisse. In 1906, Georges contributed his colourful Fauvist paintings in his first exhibition held at the Salon de Independants. It was in 1907 that he became extremely affected by a visit to Pablo Picasso's studio.
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 returned to focus on still life, by 1918, when Georges felt he had sufficiently explored the possibilities offered by the papier colles technique. A more limited palette was noticeable in Georges' first post war solo show in 1919. Regardless of this, Georges steadfastly adhered to Cubist rules in his depiction of objects from multi-faceted perspectives in geometrically patterned ways.
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.
