Georges Braque

Artist Jay Rolfe compares this 1927 Georges Braque painting "Still Life with Grapes and Clarinet" with the other two at the Phillips Collection, "The Round Table" of 1929 and "The Shower" of 1952. You will find them on the posts of April 22, 2008 and April 23, 2008. "Still Life with Grapes and Clarinet" is somewhat cubist, a movement Braque along with Picasso originated 30 years earlier. It is today's photo of the day.

Georges Braque "The Shower"

Artist Jay Rolfe has seen a lot of Georges Braque paintings. MoMA has quite a few from his cubist period and shortly after. "The Shower" which is in the Phillips Collection in Washington DC was painted in 1952. Rolfe doesn't recall seeing a painting from this late in his career. And it's clearly recognizable as a landscape. It's the photo of the day.

Georges Braque, along with Pablo Picasso, started and starred in Cubism in the late oughts and early teens of the 20th century. "The Round Table" painted in 1929 is definitely post-cubism. It's an attractive painting with a flat picture plane and cubist influences. This painting is at the Phillips Collection in Washington DC.
