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 and changed the face of modern art.
Pionnier de l’art moderne et découvreur du cubisme avec Picasso, Georges Braque (1882-1963) a été sans contexte un génie créatif et un infatigable innovateur. Et, pourtant encore de nos jours, l’histoire de cet acteur décisif de l’aventure de l’art au XXe siècle fait défaut alors que des dizaines d’ouvrages ont brossé le portrait de son ami et rival Picasso.
Dans cette première monographie complète consacrée à l’artiste, Alexandre Danchev essaie de nous faire pénétrer au cœur de cette personnalité, silencieuse, réservée sinon introvertie, et pourtant d’une audace extraordinaire dans ses recherches plastiques : les premiers paysages cubisant, les premiers papiers collés c’est lui!
