Exhibition at the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf, 25 September 2021 - 23 January 2022

For eight years before the First World War, Georges Braque and his friend Pablo Picasso shaped what was perhaps the most revolutionary stage in the history of modern painting: Cubism.

This exhibition catalogue reveals the processes by which the artist developed or reinvented his style in rapid succession-from Fauvism, Proto-Cubism, Analytical Cubism, papier collé to Synthetic Cubism.

Bringing together sixty works from museums and private collections around the world, this book offers scholarly assessments that contextualize Braque's career amidst unprecedented technological advances, new schools of thought, and an overall acceleration of everyday life in Western Europe.
