    Georges Braque was one of the fathers of Cubism. Along with Picasso he explored and invented a new way of painting that got its name from critics who pointed out small cubes in his earliest cubist works. At the end of 1907, Braque met Picasso at the unveiling of The Ladies of Avignon. This piece and a nude by Braque of late 1907 would become known as the first cubist paintings. Both artists were inspired by Cezanne's use of geometry in representing the subject matter in his painting. These works...
