Features: Braque and Picasso are two pioneering figures of Cubism. They once collaborated on paintings, jointly seeking new definitions for the visual forms of nature. Their unique theories and outstanding innovative works hold significant positions in modern art. In Braque's paintings, the representation of form is a major focus, while color takes a secondary role. How to simplify objects and express them in pure forms is the artistic truth he pursued. Braque possessed a natural sensitivity to sculptural materials. He brought the texture, grain, and patterns of materials like marble and wood into his paintings, successfully opening up a new world for painting. This technical innovation led to the art of collage, transcending simplicity and creating infinity. Braque's art is closely linked to Fauvism and Cubism, and the influence of Cézanne on him, as well as his friendship with Picasso, are also key aspects of his artistic career. This book provides an in-depth introduction to Braque's art, analyzes his published statements, and accompanies his stunning paintings to offer readers a shortcut to a deeper understanding of Braque's artistic world.
