	History of Art: Cubism - Georges Braque
		Braque was born just seven months after Picasso, in a small community on the Seine near Paris that was one of the centres of the Impressionist movement in the 1870s.
		Braque's early paintings reveal, as might be expected from achildhood spent in Normandy, the influence of the Impressionists, in particular that of Monet and of Camille Pissarro.
		Braque's Man with a Guitar is an example: the colours are brown, gray, and green, the pictorial space is almost flat, viewpoints and light sources are multiplied, contours are broken, volumes are often transparent, and facets are turned into apparently illogical simultaneous views.

		When Georges Braque abandoned a bright Fauve palette and traditional perspective in 1908, it was the inspiration of Paul Cézanne’s geometrized compositions that led him to simplified faceted forms, flattened spatial planes, and muted colors.
		By the end of that year, Braque and Pablo Picasso, who first met in 1907, began to compare the results of their techniques and it became obvious to both artists that they had simultaneously and independently invented a revolutionary style of painting, later dubbed “Cubism”; by Guillaume Apollinaire.
		Ironically, Braque depicted the nail at the top of the canvas in an illusionistic manner, down to the very shadow it cast, thus emphasizing the contrast between traditional and Cubist modes of representation.
