Georges Braque was a French artist and sculptor and is seen as a leading individual in modernism. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts i Le Havre. In the beginning of his career Braque painted in an impressionistic style and was connected to fauvism alongside other artists such as Henri Matisse, Emile-Othon Friesz and André Derain. In 1908 began Braque’s interest in geometric forms and perspectives, kickstarting a close relationship with Pablo Picasso. Together they developed a cubist style with monochromatic colours and multifaceted, complex patterns. The focus of his art was often centred on musical instruments and still life’s.
