Despite his comparative lack of public recognition, many of Braque’s collectors and admirers remain loyal. ![]() His works set the stage for dozens of better-known artists and are still considered the earliest applications of Cubism. Though Braque did not receive the recognition he was due until the 1960s, he holds a key place in the history of Modern art. A sketch for a similar painting achieved GBP 35,000 (USD 45,600) at Phillips in 2015. Braque here hoped to create a type of self-portrait that would carry an independent essence. A close examination will show tubes of oil paint and other art materials scattered throughout the piece. Le guéridon, sold by Christie’s for USD 10,103,500 in 2017, is among the artist’s most abstract compositions. The Braque paintings that best perform at auction are the Cubist ones. In the eyes of American artist Man Ray, Braque was “a very gentle and kind man, completely obsessed by his paintings.” They also spoke to his dedication to his work. These hybrid paintings were started in one style and completed in another, reflecting Braque’s gradual Modernist evolution. He was known to put paintings on hold for as long as it took to finish them, sometimes for decades. The friendship with Picasso gradually collapsed after Braque returned from World War I and began a quiet departure from the rigidity of Cubism. Like many artists, Braque’s career was interrupted at various points by the events of the early 1900s. Some employed techniques that were considered radical in their time, including the use of sawdust, wallpaper, and papier collé, are a gesture back to his house painting days. Many of Braque’s now-iconic still-life paintings were created during these early stages of the Cubist movement. ![]() The former’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907) is often hailed as the first Cubist painting, but the style grew from the pair’s artistic collaborations. Picasso and Braque regularly built upon each other’s work during this period. A burgeoning friendship with fellow young artist Pablo Picasso sealed Braque’s commitment to the new style. ![]() Gradually, though, the artist began to drift toward muted colors, broken forms, and geometric shapes. His works from this period bear traces of Impressionism and the color palette of Henri Matisse. By his early 20s, however, Braque was hooked on fine art and connected with some of the era’s leading Fauvist painters. He was raised to be a house painter, following his father and grandfather. Braque was born near Paris and grew up in Le Havre. ![]()
