Georges Braque
Fruit Dish and Fruit Basket, 1928
Braque, along with Picasso, was one of the earliest proponents of Cubism, a movement that had a significant effect on the course of 20th-century art. After seeing Picasso's Desmoiselles d'Avignon in 1907, Braque began steadily pushing the limits of abstraction in his own painting. In the 1920s, the artist's work became more decorous, as seen in this stylized depiction of fruit. |
