George Braque jellemzők

The renowned partner of Picasso during the Cubist years and later the grand old man of French painting, Braque is one of the best-known and least-understood artists of our century. From his friends' affectionate recollections, the artist emerges as a cheerful and energetic dandy, renowned for his sturdy good looks. His art suggests a different persona, however, for he was devoted to making thoughtful, deeply felt images - whether as a Fauve, a Cubist, or a mature painter working in his own distinctive style. Both the quiet intelligence of the man and the originality of his passionate yet elegant paintings emerge from the pages of this invaluable study.
