Georges Braques.
Lithograph. "Papiers Colles IV". After an original collage of 1914
In addition to the invention of Cubism, he also focussed on other forms of art which were prominent at various time periods and produced works touching on Impressionism, Fauvism, and Collage. resulting in a body of work which brought together a series of imaginative pieces, bold colours, and distinct shapes and styles. His style changed during the war years to represent the sombre, dark period the world was going through. In between wartime, he would also change his style and themes, to represent lighter times, and happier events which were taking place around him.
Although he did change his style, tone, colour use, and design features, he never strayed too far away from Cubism. There were also tinges or hints of this style, in every piece that he created during the course of his career, and it is this that makes his work so distinct, in comparison to other artists of the time, who did not explore so many different styles in their work.
