Georges Braque
Georges Braque studied at the Le Havre Art School and was apprenticed to his father, a house-painter in that town. In 1902 he attended the Paris Ecole des beaux-arts under Bonnat and later took courses at the Académie Humbert. His work was first shown in 1906, when he exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants with the Fauvists. Braque, with Picasso, became an exponent of 'classical cubism'.
