A new, multifaceted examination of Georges Braque’s complete oeuvre, whose complexity has yet to receive its due.

Georges Braque (1882–1963), one of the major pioneers of modernity, produced work that is much more complex and compelling than art historians have often led us to believe: the strong emphasis on his close association with Picasso and the equation of his work with Cubism have not done sufficient justice to his relevance, even though his pioneering Cubist works ought to be accorded extraordinary status.This retrospective offers a profound re-evaluation of Braque’s complete oeuvre. Featuring about eighty paintings and key prints, this volume takes a comprehensive look at his unique adventures: Braque among the Fauves; Braque, the methodical artist; Braque as the inventor of the papier collé; Braque’s appropriations from decorative painting, in which he was originally trained; Braque as master of the modern still life; and last but not least, Braque, the “lyrical constructor.”  Exhibition schedule: Bank Austria Kunstforum, Vienna, November 14, 2008–March 1, 2009
