Georges Braque paintings began developing a Cubist style after Georges met Pablo Picasso although Georges started out as a member of the Fauves. Georges' and Pablo's paintings shared many similarities in palette, style and subject matter. Georges was also often dedicated to quiet periods spent in his studio as opposed to being a personality in the art world.
Georges took papier colles, a pasted paper collage technique that he and Pablo Picasso invented in 1912, one step further, through the gluing of cut-up advertisements into his Georges Braque paintings. This was actually a foreshadowing of modern art movements concerned with critiquing media, including Pop art.
Georges Braque paintings took a drastic change in 1907 after Georges seeing Pablo Picasso's breakthrough work in Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. The encounter led to an intimate friendship and artistic camaraderie between the two painters. They would get together every single day to discuss and assay the ideas that were forming in their individual heads and to compare their respective works.
Georges and Pablo worked in synchronicity until Georges' return from war in 1914. Georges felt that Pablo betrayed their Cubist systems and rules, when Pablo began painting figuratively. It was then that Georges decided to work on his own Georges Braque paintings.
Georges Braque paintings continued to be works of a true Analytical Cubist, much longer than Pablo Picasso, whose style, subject matter and palettes changed continuously. What was most interesting to Georges was the showcasing of how objects look when viewed over time in different temporal spaces and pictorial planes.
As a result of Georges' dedication to depicting space in various ways, other than his Georges Braque paintings, he naturally gravitated to designing sets and costumes for theatre and ballet performances throughout the 1920s. Georges took up landscape painting again in 1929, this time using new, bright colors influenced by Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.
