Artist Georges Braque: How he became the Great Cubist Painter- Art History School
Join us on another episode of our art history channel as we delve into the life, works, and legacy of a true pioneer of modern art Georges Braque. From his early days as a Fauvist, collaborating with Picasso, to his ground breaking role in co-founding Cubism, Braque's artistic trajectory is a testament to innovation and creative daring.
In this video, we'll navigate the intricate interplay between Braque's evolving style and the cultural backdrop of his time. Witness his mesmerizing fusion of form and content, as he skilfully navigated the realms of abstraction and representation. We'll explore his profound influence on Cubist principles, dissecting his collaborative efforts with Picasso and the birth of a revolutionary movement that transformed the artistic landscape forever.
Georges Braque (1882-1963) stands as one of the seminal figures in 20th-century art, hailed for his transformative impact on the Cubist movement. Born in Argenteuil, France, Braque initially pursued a career in decorative painting before embracing the bold colours of Fauvism, collaborating closely with Pablo Picasso during the early 1900s. However, it was their co-invention of Cubism that catapulted Braque to artistic renown.
Braque's ingenious approach to deconstructing and reconstructing forms revolutionized the concept of representation. His "analytical Cubism" sought to depict objects from multiple perspectives in a single composition, challenging traditional notions of space and dimension. His meticulous exploration of geometric shapes, fragmented planes, and earthy colour palettes gave rise to artworks that celebrated abstraction while retaining a sense of connection to reality.
The outbreak of World War I temporarily paused Braque's artistic pursuits, but he resumed his creative journey with a renewed vigour post-war. The "synthetic Cubism" phase that followed introduced elements of collage and mixed media, showcasing his versatility and innovation.
Throughout his career, Braque's dedication to pushing artistic boundaries left an indelible mark, inspiring generations of artists to rethink the way they perceived and expressed the world around them. His legacy endures as a testament to the power of artistic evolution and imagination.

When I was at high school,circa 1971 I spotted a cheap print of Paul Klees' 'Senicio',hanging in a corridor above a radiator. It beauty captivated me. I asked a senior member of staff if I could take this warped,worthless print home. My request was refused,so I stole it and craftily took it home with me. That was where my love affair with Klees style began, and to this day,he is still my favourite artist .
He is a wonderful artist. Cheers
yeah tbh its just rubbish lol
In your opinion, not necessarily on many others.
It appears weimar republic was a fairly liberal time?..
Yes, it was a very liberal time, but then the right wing fascists took over in 1933 and the rest is history.
Psycho babble rubbish !!!
Really!!
Again I have watched another one of your videos, and have found another new artist to me. Thank you!
You are very welcome. Cheers
Wonderful video on Paul Klee, much more in-depth about development of his style done in a very fun way
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
I have read some of the comments here and I, too, have never heard of this artist. Thank you for sharing this information. I found it fascinating.
You're very welcome. Cheers
What a wonderful video you made! Thank you so much. I love Paul Klee so much that I feel I am a part of him.
Glad you enjoyed it! He was a remarkable artist. Cheers
Thanks it was great. From Richmond VA USA.
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers from Somerset, England
I never saw a Paul Klee piece I didn't like. Hard, if not impossible to think of another great artist that I could make the same claim. Maybe David Smith...
Interesting. Cheers
the fire of creativity that burns inside an artist soul keeps him going to overcome difficulties and prevail
Very True
Excellent video and so through. Thankyou for this content. I have been on big Theosophy kick lately and all the artists it influenced. Also recently read some of Kandinsky's work, that guy was on another level as well. Too bad the both of them did not meet.
Glad you enjoyed my video, they are both fascinating people. Enjoy your exploration of Theosophy.
Thanks so much for this interesting information on Lowrys life and paintings. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
He is not Russian artist. He is a Jewish artist who was born in the current territory of Belarus, which is a big difference. It's like you call Gandhi a British activist.
His religion has nothing to do with his nationality, I mentioned him as being Jewish. He was born in the Russian Empire and throughout his lifetime his birth place was in either the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union, so technically he was 'Russian'. Belarus did not become an independent country until after he died.
@@ArtHistorySchool I don't believe that "Jewish" solely refers to religion. It encompasses cultural and ethnic identity as well. As you mentioned in the video, Jewish people typically refrain from depicting God due to religious restrictions. Additionally, identifying him as being from Belarus carries significant implications regarding his identity, life experiences, and social standing. Being Belarusian as opposed to Russian during the time of the Russian Empire would have had profound effects on his life and opportunities. If he were Russian, he may not have been able to leave the country, resulting in a completely different narrative and individual. Thus, in my view, he is not Russian. Given the current discourse on the decolonization of Russia, it's crucial to acknowledge that many individuals previously labeled as Russians do not identify as such. Anyway huge thank you for the video. I was born in the same city 100 years later and I love Chagall.
I take your points. I would agree that today, not wanting to be any part of Russia, given their present and past behaviour would be very desirable.
@@ArtHistorySchool yes, thank you for understanding it.
Swedisch painter but the music in the beginning is very norwegian (Morgenstimmung, E Grieg)
True
I am fed up of getting HINDI subtitles all the time !! I want English subtitles and transcripts not Hindi 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
UA-cam defaults to the language it thinks is relevant to your area, you'll have to change the subtitles if you don't like it.
@@ArtHistorySchool no options to change the subtitles , there is only 2 option Hindi auto generated and turn off subtitles
Interesting. I saw a photo of her as a young lady dressed as a boy.
Yes, the video explains the reasoning behind that.
Cubism is not painting ! It is how not to paint !!! Pathetic woke version of painting !!!
Do you understand anything about painting or do you just base your judgments on your own prejudices?
Excellent video! Thank you.
Really pleased you enjoyed it! Cheers
Prachtig, gewoon prachtig ❤

Very entertaining. What a character.
He certainly was. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers

DURING EVERY PERIOD OF "MODERN ART"", (1900-TO LATE IN THE CENTURY), GEORGE BRAQUE WAS THERE WITH "BOTH GUNS BLAZING", BUT THE MEDIA WAS NOT SEDUCED, AS IT WAS WITH THE ROMANTIC P. PICCASO, THE MEDIA DARLING
>>>>>>>>> OOOOPS ! ! ! ""PICASSO,"" BLAME IT ON MY "YOUTH "
Braque was arguably the more sophisticated Cubist painter, but Picasso was the originator. He also moved on to create many other 'styles', ideas etc. whilst Braque ploughed the same field all his life.
Amazingly told!! Love every video of yours!!! Thank you for being one of the guardians of our art history!!
Many thanks, really pleased you enjoyed it. Cheers
I really did enjoy this, thank you very much❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
As an American, I have always thought, that American Gothic did capture the Midwest in an iconic way. I always felt that how serious his stated intentions were, his message was delivered rather ‘tongue in cheek’ as we say. Truly if he was satirizing us, he was satirizing himself, as well. His painting style was so serious, so regular, it can’t help but contrast with its subject matter.
I think it is more the opposite. I don't think he did deliver it 'tongue in cheek' I think he did it seriously, that's why east and west coast Americans satirized it so much.
I live in Missouri. He had definite stated stereotypical intentions in mind. The 'pretentious' window on the humble house. A romantic view of the stoic farmer. As played by a dentist. He caught something of the way of life here. His own stepping back into Flemish modes of expression, breaking with the modern trend. Go to any small town in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, you will see Grant Woods America today. The satire is so close to the truth. I love his work and equally amused by it. It is iconic, in a way that an American impressionist couldn't have been.
