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 forefronting 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.
Understanding Pablo Picasso's goals, Georges aimed to strengthen the constructive elements in his Georges Braque paintings while foregoing of the expressive excesses of Fauvism. It was from his landscape paintings of scenes distilled into basic shapes and colors, that French art critic, Louis Vauxcelles, drew inspiration from, to coin the term Cubism, to describe Georges' work as bizarreries cubiques.
Georges Braque paintings continued to be works of a true Analytical Cubist, much longer than Pablo Picasso, whose style, subject matter and palettes changed continuously. What was most interesting to Georges was the showcasing of how objects look when viewed over time in different temporal spaces and pictorial planes.
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.
