Alongside Pablo Picasso, he was theco-founder of Cubism, making him one of the most influential figures of the 20th-century avant-garde.Key Art Historical Contributions

• The Invention of Cubism:Between 1908 and 1914, Braque and Picasso worked so closely in Paris that they often joked they were \"married\" or like mountain climbers roped together. They rejected traditional perspective, breaking objects down into fragmented, geometric shapes to view them from multiple angles simultaneously.
• Pioneering Collage (Papier Collé):In 1912, Braque became the very first artist to introduce imitation wood-grain wallpaper into a drawing, inventing thepapier collé(pasted paper) technique which revolutionized modern mixed-media art.
