Unlike Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque paintings were devoid of iconological commentary and were concerned purely with pictorial space and composition. George sought after balance and harmony in his compositions, particularly through papier colles, a pasted paper collage technique that he and Pablo invented in 1912.
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 returned to focus on still life, by 1918, when Georges felt he had sufficiently explored the possibilities offered by the papier colles technique. A more limited palette was noticeable in Georges' first post war solo show in 1919. Regardless of this, Georges steadfastly adhered to Cubist rules in his depiction of objects from multi-faceted perspectives in geometrically patterned ways.
As a result of Georges' dedication to depicting space in various ways, other than his Georges Braque paintings, he naturally gravitated to designing sets and costumes for theatre and ballet performances throughout the 1920s. Georges took up landscape painting again in 1929, this time using new, bright colors influenced by Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.
