Items related to Georges Braque: A Life
Together with Picasso and Matisse, Georges Braque is unquestionably one of the three great pillars of twentieth-century art. Here is the first full-length biography of this remarkable figure. A pioneer of modern art and founder of Cubism, Georges Braque was a creative genius and tireless innovator, constantly pushing back the boundaries of the possible. In this magisterial work, Alex Danchev taps a wide range of new sources to reveal the heart and mind of one who helped usher in the greatest revolution in the ways of seeing since the Renaissance. Danchev interviewed dozens of people for this work, and casts an especially brilliant light on the unparalleled relationship between Braque and Picasso, lifelong friends and rivals, who forged a creative partnership that was at once intimate, profound, and influential. In following Braque's long life and career, Danchev also recreates the entire ebullient, fertile, and explosive period of twentieth-century art. From this important and authoritative biography, Braque emerges as an inspirational man and revolutionary artist, who fully deserves to be recognized as the towering figure of modern art he undoubtedly was.
