Braque

Pioneered fractured perspectives

Georges Braque was a French painter who, alongside Picasso, founded Cubism in the early twentieth century.

His work emphasized fragmented forms, muted colors, and collage techniques.

Braque's name often appears in discussions of modern art's break from traditional representation: The still life had a Braque-like quality, all angles and overlapping planes.
