Personal achievement
Painting achievement
Georges Braque, Georges Braque, 1882-1963), several innovation in the cubist movement, for example,
Georges braque works
Letters and Numbers to painting, by means of collage, and so on. Black works mostly still life and landscape painting, painting style is concise and simple, precise and unified. "He more than all the other cubist painter cannot reduce concrete and incisive analysis, bring the rare harmonious colour and any of his peers are helpless and elegant and fluent line. Black and Picasso works on the analysis of the cubist period, style is very close, so the thing is people together. This is extremely rare in the history of art phenomenon. The same two people not only act, but also is very similar to the selected topic. They prefer painting instrument. Black in the picture for the object, more extreme than Picasso. He analyses the majority is in the still life form. This may be because still lifes speaking to him less constraint.
Braque collage creation started in 1912. He tried to piecing up through a series of abstract graphics, to strengthen the effect of the composition of the picture. His production process more and more simple, bold, the effect is more direct and clear. He started from the abstract, then slowly turned to the representational, seek his theme in the overlap of abstract graphics. His collage, besides using pieces of paper, rarely with other materials. This is often seen as do not have art qualitative material, to the "construction drawings" creation of braque, bring great convenience.
Other achievements
Black is also a sculptor, illustrator and stage designer. His paintings have decoration tastes.
Personal works
The clarinet
In 1913 the clarinet, black is his collage masterpiece. Here, the objective object and the composition of subjective creation mutual confluence, to produce a kind of is the modelling of make the person surprise is convincing value and kindness. In the simple picture of the structure, each visual elements, whether different pieces of paper or light paint line, become a kind of symbol. Those lines make clip graphics to obtain some rely on and meaning, can even let a person from the comprehension to some kind of spirit. By collage, artists will seems to have been forgotten performance factors, especially on the material and the aesthetic feeling of color, made clear to the viewer. This obviously with analytical cubism style greatly different its interest. The first world war enlisted in the army, black on painting after the war. Then gradually moved away from the rigid type of cubism, early geometric language modifications change as more freedom and the form of light, color and simple coordination, showing moderate compromise the appeal of the naturalism, harmonious and beautiful calm, constitute a new artistic realm.
"Mr Stark's house"
In 1908, came to Mr Stark black. Is there a late Cezanne had many landscapes. There, braque started by landscape painting to explore the geometric form behind the natural appearance. Its "Mr Stark's house", is a typical works at that time. In this painting, the houses and trees are simplified as geometry. This expression means clearly from Cezanne. The nature of various form Cezanne summed up as cylinder, cone and sphere, black is more further pursue the geometric form of natural object. With his unique methods of compressed image space depth, make the house in the picture looks like a partial pressure of carton, and between plane and three-dimensional effect. Scenery in superposition of before and after the arrangement is not in the picture, but from top to bottom to promote, in this way, make some object has been at the top of the screen. All objects in the picture, whether it is one of the most profound or prospects, are shown in the same definition in the picture. Because of the black painting of that period, the influence of the painting style in obvious fill is, therefore, this stage is called "Cezanne cubist period".
The mandolin
In the mandolin as the still life painting, that surrounded by shape and color of the waves of Musical Instruments, into the block surface, color and art of shaking, all elements with the sound, light, the shadow of reflection and characteristics. The whole picture is full of debris shapes of geometry, we almost can't find a little empty place, also can not find no dynamic area. The diffuse light, and the tilt in the direction of this or that piece face, between each other echo. As described in the book: black "echo should echo, all issued resonance". And can really make many visual elements together, it is the center of the picture on the mandolin round hole; The dark graphics are painted all the cross slash in the center of the intersection. Thus, the vitality of the painting is derived by two kinds of different direction of movement: one is the upward movement; Is a rotating motion. Color in the picture, is as simple as the colour of his early work, but without losing its simple characteristics, on the basis of appears more lively and abound change.
"Duet"
Using the technique of cubism, black shows the musician is playing a duet. Their geometry into all kinds of square, cylinder, cone, etc., and flat color segmentation to represent the scene, reflect on "duet" psychological stereo image, let people face the image of grotesque "intuitive nature", to feel the outline of the object. This is called the "duet" provides us with rich content and form.
The brandy bottle on the table and the guitar
The brandy bottle on the table and the guitar is classic black, belong to the "table" series of a black, black often deal with the subject matter of the still life on the desk, since he started cubism artistic exploration, this subject has appeared in his paintings. In a lot of still life,
Especially prefer black guitar, as a musician, black have a special liking to the guitar, his friend, the other a cubist painter griess even said: "black guitar get new life!" in the painting, the guitar is braque endowed with life, a real guitar is broken into various colors, curve, and irregular shape, wonderfully combination as a new form, appear in front of the world. In this work the early 30 s, tiny grains of sand and paint mixing together, create a rough picture of background, different strokes and brushwork simulating table of wood texture, and portrays the carpets and wallpaper patterns. Compared with the early work, the composition of this picture are stronger, the use of color is also more abound adornment sex, according to the artist on the material, texture, the creation of the decorative pattern and color.
