painter-decorator and he met Marie Laurencin and Francis Picabia. His graphic work started in 1907-1908 with Cubist

each other mutually. Braque started studying still-life, which, from then
onwards became an important element in his works. It was an era of Analytical
Cubism, a period when Braque started to use figures. George Braque advanced towards a less aggressive
Cubism after First World War, more colourful moving more towards the respect of
the object it represented. Georges Braque died in Paris in 1963. même temps, il effectue de nombreux voyages d'études
