Georges Braque paintings began developing a Cubist style after Georges met Pablo Picasso although Georges started out as a member of the Fauves. Georges' and Pablo's paintings shared many similarities in palette, style and subject matter. Georges was also often dedicated to quiet periods spent in his studio as opposed to being a personality in the art world.
Georges took papier colles, a pasted paper collage technique that he and Pablo Picasso invented in 1912, one step further, through the gluing of cut-up advertisements into his Georges Braque paintings. This was actually a foreshadowing of modern art movements concerned with critiquing media, including Pop art.
The earliest Georges Braque paintings pursued Fauvist ideas, in coordination with Henri Matisse. In 1906, Georges contributed his colourful Fauvist paintings in his first exhibition held at the Salon de Independants. It was in 1907 that he became extremely affected by a visit to Pablo Picasso's studio.
Despite breaking up with Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque paintings continued to be influenced by Pablo's works, particularly in relation to papier colles, a collage technique they pioneered together using only pasted paper.
Georges Braque paintings continued to be works of a true Analytical Cubist, much longer than Pablo Picasso, whose style, subject matter and palettes changed continuously. What was most interesting to Georges was the showcasing of how objects look when viewed over time in different temporal spaces and pictorial planes.
In the latter half of the 1930s, Georges Braque paintings consisted of Georges' Vanitas series, where he existentially considered death and suffering. Georges explored ways in which his brushstrokes and paint qualities could enhance his subject matter, as he grew increasingly obsessed with the physicality of his paintings. The objects Georges used in his still life paintings were highly personal, which is perhaps why he left their meanings unrevealed and unexplained.
