Braque's first major breakthrough came in 1907 when he started to create a new system of representation based on the simplification and geometrisation of forms and the reexamination of perspective. Upon meeting Pablo Picasso, his concept of pictorial orientation changed dramatically. During the exhibition of his paintings at the Kahnweiler Gallery, the critic Louis Vauxcelles compared his painting style to a mass of little cubes. The word was spoken, so from 1909 to 1912, Braque and Picasso refined the theories of Cubism. The artist no longer sought to copy nature, but to decompose it en masse and to reconstruct it.

Galerie Maeght is a gallery of modern art in Paris. The gallery was opened in 1946 by renowned art dealer and collector Aimé Maeght. Today, Galerie Maeght is considered as one of the cornerstones of twentieth-century modern art. See less
