Georges Braque, French painter, sculptor and engraver of the 20th century, is one of the pioneers of the cubist movement.

Initially a painter of impressionist landscapes, he quickly evolved towards new pictorial forms, exploring geometry and abstraction. With Pablo Picasso, it radically changes the way artists represent the world. Their approach is to break down objects into paintings that evoke collages. This break opens the way for new movements, such as surrealism.

His work testifies to a constant search for new means of artistic expression and of daring innovation. Its influence is felt endlessly, not only among artists such as Salvador Dalí, but also in modern art in general. His works are preserved in numerous museum and private collections, including the Pompidou Center in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris and the MoMA in New York.

In 2013, a retrospective An exceptional exhibition dedicated to Georges Braque was organized at the Grand Palais in Paris, presenting nearly 240 of his works. This exhibition was followed in 2014 by Celle from the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, showcasing his artistic career.
