Artwork Detail

Braque wanted to challenge the way people see objects in space. During his Cubist period he often combined collaged materials such as wallpaper or newspaper into his paintings, alongside combinations of patterns and textures. Like Picasso and Matisse, Braque was influential on the development of Modernism, including artists such as New Zealand’s Frances Hodgkins. The Auckland Art Gallery has two works on paper by Braque.
