Early Life and Training

, a prominent French painter, collagist, draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, was born on May 13, 1882, in Argenteuil, Val-d'Oise. He grew up in Le Havre and initially trained to be a house painter and decorator like his father and grandfather. However, Braque's artistic inclinations led him to study painting at the École des Beaux-Arts in Le Havre from 1897 to 1899.

Artistic Evolution and Fauvism

In 1902, after completing his apprenticeship with a decorator in Paris, Braque attended the Académie Humbert until 1904. This period marked his introduction to Fauvism, a style characterized by vibrant colors and emotional responses. Influenced by the works of Henri Matisse and André Derain, Braque adopted a Fauvist approach, as seen in his painting The Patience (Fauvism, Oil On Canvas).

Contribution to Cubism

Braque's collaboration with Pablo Picasso from 1908 to 1912 led to the development of Cubism. Their Analytical Cubist works, such as Georges Braque: The Patience and Pablo Picasso: Clarinet(Analytical Cubism, Oil On Canvas), are now considered milestones in the history of art.
