Georges Braque (1882 - 1963) seems to have been the quiet man of cubism, his more staid life standing in stark contrast to that of his colleague Picasso.
Of all the pictures so far highlighted in this exercise, I think Braque's 1911 painting, Bottle and Fishes, is the one I would most like to have on my wall. It is a brilliant exercise in simultaneous perspectives and I find the geometric technicalities it deploys endlessly beguiling.
