Georges Braque (1882–1963) was a major 20th-century French painter and co-founder of Cubism . His work is characterized by a constant exploration of the structure, space, and rhythm of forms. Deeply connected to the decorative arts and materials, Braque always maintained a close dialogue between painting, sculpture, and the applied arts, making his compositions a natural source of inspiration for textiles and tapestry.
