Braque, brahk, Georges (1882-1963), was a French artist. In the early 1900's, Braque and Pablo Picasso led the development of cubism, a painting style that had a major influence on later art. Braque and other cubist artists tried to portray the basic geometric forms of subjects. The subjects in many cubist paintings are almost unrecognizable. Braque's Man with a Guitar, is an excellent example.
