Georges Braque: The Co-Founder of Cubism
Georges Braque (1882-1963) was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker who is renowned as the co-founder of Cubism, along with Pablo Picasso. Braque's work between 1908 and 1912 is considered to be his most important contribution to the history of art, during which he developed a style that would revolutionize 20th-century painting.
The Painting: Woman Reading
Woman Reading (1911) is an oil on canvas painting by Braque that exemplifies the style of Analytical Cubism. The painting features a woman reading, depicted in a fragmented and abstract manner, with geometric forms fracturing the picture plane to explore various viewpoints.
Analytical Cubism: A Revolutionary Style
Analytical Cubism is a style of Cubism that emerged between 1910 and 1912, characterized by its fragmented and abstract depiction of objects. The movement sought to break away from traditional perspective and create a new visual language. Braque's work during this period was instrumental in the development of this style, as he merged aspects of the sculptural with the pictorial to explore multiple viewpoints.
The Portuguese: A Notable Example of Analytical Cubism
Another notable example of Analytical Cubism by Braque is
The Portuguese (1911), which features a man in a pipe-smoking pose. The painting exemplifies the style's angular, multi-layered surfaces that bring still lifes and portraiture close to a point of total abstraction.
