You can see a framed painting on the ground leaning on the table as well a number of still life objects displayed on the wall. Many of these items can be seen in the cubist paintings of this period, the guitar, mandolin, flowers and vases as well as tribal artifacts were all common in Cubist paintings. -gl Happy birthday to Georges Braque born 13 May 1882 – 31 August 1963. He was a major 20th-century French painter, collagist, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor. His most important contributions to the history of art were in his alliance with Fauvism from 1906, and the role he played in the development of Cubism. Braque’s work between 1908 and 1912 is closely associated with that of his colleague Pablo Picasso. Their respective Cubist works were indistinguishable for many years, yet the quiet nature of Braque was partially eclipsed by the fame and notoriety of Picasso. – Wikipedia #painter #paris #cubism #fauvism #cubist #papierscolle #masterpiece #gallery #whosmodernnow #art #arte #museum #instaart #abstract #fineart #arts #artist #modernart #modernnow #kunst #original #artgallery #artwork #modern #artscool @modernnow #whatsmodernnow Please help by liking us: www.facebook.com/modernnow Photo courtesy of Modern Now™

#georgesbraque The Jetty at L’Estaque (1906) Oil on canvas 38.5 x 46 cm Before his integral role in the development of Cubism, Braque had been working first as an impressionist and then under the influence of fauvism – Fauvism was a painting movement that focused on the use of color to invoke an emotional response – Though Braque did not work primarily with Matisse he did work with Raoul Dufy. Braque’s bout with the Fauves and his impressionistic background is apparent in The Jetty at L’Estaque in its use of color and treatment of the landscape. Painted in 1906 Braque was still two years from his cubist creations. A path which he will embark on through the great Cézanne… #painter #paris #cubism #fauvism #cubist #papierscolle #masterpiece #gallery #whosmodernnow #art #arte #museum #instaart #abstract #fineart #arts #artist #modernart #modernnow #kunst #original #artgallery #artwork #modern #artscool @modernnow #whatsmodernnow Please help by liking us: www.facebook.com/modernnow Photo courtesy of Modern Now™

#georgesbraque Seated Nude Seen from Behind (1907) Oil on Canvas 55×46 cm. Seated Nude Seen From Behind was painted the following year. Braque has left (just temporarily) the plein air of Impressionism for a study of the female form that is much more influenced by Hénri Matisse in both form, subject and color treatment. -gl #painter #paris #cubism #fauvism #cubist #papierscolle #masterpiece #gallery #whosmodernnow #art #arte #museum #instaart #abstract #fineart #arts #artist #modernart #modernnow #kunst #original #artgallery #artwork #modern #artscool @modernnow #whatsmodernnow Please help by liking us: www.facebook.com/modernnow Photo courtesy of Modern Now™

#georgesbraque The Viaduct at L’Estaque (1908) Oil on canvas – 72.5×59 cm Cubism is widely accepted as beginning sometime in 1908, prior to this, after Cezanne’s passing in 1906 there was a large retrospective at the Salon d’Automne of his paintings, this was in September of 1907. Of course Braque attended (possibly many times) as did Picasso and as you can imagine every other artist of note living in Paris at the time. This single show could be considered the seminal event in the creation of the cubist epoch and the advancement of avant grade art. “The 1907 Cézanne retrospective at the Salon d’Automne greatly affected the direction that the avant-garde in Paris took, lending credence to his position as one of the most influential artists of the 19th century and to the advent of Cubism.” -Wikipedia There are many examples of this exhibits influence through out 1907 and 1908 in Braque’s work. The Viaduct at L’Estaque is no acception with its angular geometry and flattened perspective. We are witnessing the beginning of the deconstruction of the picture plane. -gl #painter #paris #cubism #fauvism #cubist #papierscolle #braque #masterpiece #gallery #whosmodernnow #art #arte #museum #instaart #abstract #fineart #arts #artist #modernart #modernnow #kunst #original #artgallery #artwork #modern #artscool @modernnow #whatsmodernnow Please help by liking us: www.facebook.com/modernnow Photo & Text courtesy of Modern Now™

Musical Instruments (1908) Oil on canvas – 50×61 cm Also from 1908, this is a still life composition by Braque that has all the typical elements of a cubist composition. Braque said that he always preferred still life for his cubist paintings because they altered the spatial relationship between the objects and the painter (observer) where in plein air the artist is more concerned wih the relationship between things. -gl #painter #paris #cubism #fauvism #cubist #papierscolle #braque #masterpiece #gallery #whosmodernnow #art #arte #museum #instaart #abstract #fineart #arts #artist #modernart #modernnow #kunst #original #artgallery #artwork #modern #artscool @modernnow #whatsmodernnow Please help by liking us: www.facebook.com/modernnow Photo & Text courtesy of Modern Now™

#georgesbraque Braque and Picasso worked closely through this time but nothing like the summer of 1911 at Céret in the French Pyrenees.

We now have all the components for cubism’s birth. The influence of Cezanne upon the psyche of Paris artist in the first decade of the twentieth century, a flattened picture plane, simplified angular geometries, altered perspective, the relationship between Braque and Picasso and the elements of a modern cubist still composition.

#georgesbraque Mandola (1909/1910) Oil on canvas – 73x60cm A year after painting Musical Instruments (1908) in 1909-10 we can see Braque’s treatment of a similar subject in Mandola and the language of cubism expressing itself as well as the change in palate. The earthy tones and fragments of plein air landscapes have become the framnted surface of an ordinary still life. The merging of outside and inside, not just in literal space but as in, what something is and what it isn’t. -gl #painter #paris #cubism #fauvism #cubist #papierscolle #braque #masterpiece #gallery #whosmodernnow #art #arte #museum #instaart #abstract #fineart #arts #artist #modernart #modernnow #kunst #original #artgallery #artwork #modern #artscool @modernnow #whatsmodernnow Please help by liking us: www.facebook.com/modernnow Photo & Text courtesy of Modern Now™

#georgesbraque Still Life with Violin (1911) Oil on canvas – 130 x 89 cm. Again here with a string instrument as his subject, however now in 1911 cubism has evolved into what is known as analytical cubism (from late 1910 until 1912) Analytical Cubism or Hermetic Cubism is characterized by a deconstructed picture plane that is an attempt to view a 3d object from multiple perspectives (not unlike the post modern philosophies of the 1960’s that would take hold of Paris and then spread around the globe) onto a 2d surface. These terms were used in the 1920’s first by Kahnweiler (specifically the word analytic) and then by Carl Einstein who is directly credited with coining title of the movement. -gl #painter #paris #cubism #fauvism #cubist #papierscolle #braque #masterpiece #gallery #whosmodernnow #art #arte #museum #instaart #abstract #fineart #arts #artist #modernart #modernnow #kunst #original #artgallery #artwork #modern #artscool @modernnow #whatsmodernnow Please help by liking us: www.facebook.com/modernnow Photo & Text courtesy of Modern Now™
