Pablo Picasso And Georges Braque Were The Inventors

In 1907, Georges Braque paid a visit to Pablo Picasso's workshop. One of the most significant friendships in the history of painting began with this studio visit. The two artists discussed their ideas, critiqued one another's work, and challenged and supported one another throughout the coming months and years. Georges described their close working relationship: “The things that Picasso and I said to one another during those years will never be said again, and even if they were, no one would understand them anymore. It was like being roped together on a mountain.”

Between 1907 and 1914, Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and French artist Georges Braque co-invented the Cubism movement. From the start of 1909, the two painters worked closely together, meeting frequently to discuss their development. Both spent the years leading up to and during World War I in the artistic Montmartre neighborhood of Paris, which made their collaboration simple. Early on in the movement, Picasso and Braque's paintings started to resemble one another so much that it is now difficult to tell them apart.

Despite the fact that Picasso and Braque produced Cubist artworks that visually complemented one another, their respective artistic goals were frequently very dissimilar. While Braque concentrated his creativity on the use of materials, textures, and the manipulation of space and light during the 1960s, Picasso transitioned from narrative imagery to pictorial design.
