Since it is back to school season, I thought I would make a series of episodes optimized for classrooms to give students a quick overview and a few interesting facts about an artist. I am labeling these episodes with TLDR and each of them will follow the same format. First, I will give a very quick bit of biographical information. Second I'll list 5 interesting facts about the artist. Finally I'll talk about one of the artist's works. This week I covered Georges Braque and his painting Violin and Palette from 1909.
Georges Braque co-founded the groundbreaking art movement of Cubism. Discover his beginnings in a family of house painters, where he learned decorative techniques like creating faux woodgrain that would later influence his fine art. The summary traces his artistic journey from early Fauvist-inspired works to the pivotal moment he met Picasso. This led to one of art history's most famous collaborations, an intense period where Braque and Picasso deconstructed traditional perspective to invent Analytic Cubism, working so closely they compared themselves to the Wright brothers. Learn how Braque's service in World War I and a severe head injury profoundly changed him, leading him to develop a more personal, contemplative style focused on still lifes for the remainder of his celebrated career.
Delve into the specific innovations that cemented Braque's legacy, including his 1912 invention of papier collé (pasted paper), a technique that evolved into collage and forever changed the definition of art. We also uncover the surprising origin of the term "Cubism," born from a critic's dismissive remark about Braque's paintings being made of "little cubes." The discussion highlights a key masterpiece, Violin and Palette (1909), a prime example of Analytic Cubism. The painting breaks down its subjects into fragmented, geometric planes with a muted color palette, inviting viewers to analyze form and perception from multiple viewpoints at once, challenging the conventions of Western art and paving the way for abstraction.
