Georges Braque  (1882-1963) was a French Fauve painter who began to rethink his own painting style after admiring Picasso’s  Les Demoiselles . Using the painting’s revolutionary elements as a point of departure, together Braque and Picasso invented  Cubism  around 1908 in the belief the art of painting had to move far beyond the depiction of visual reality.  Most scholars call the first phase of Cubism, developed cooperatively by Picasso and Braque, Analytic Cubism, because essentially it is a painterly study of the structure of form.
