Answer 1

Georges Braque worked closely with Pablo Picasso in the development of Cubism, transforming art with geometric shapes and new perspectives until their collaboration was interrupted by WWI.

Step-by-step explanation:

Georges Braque worked closely with Pablo Picasso to develop Cubism, a revolutionary artistic movement. Braque and Picasso collaborated from 1909 until the outbreak of World War I in 1914. During this time, they created artworks characterized by fragmented geometric shapes and monochromatic color schemes that challenged traditional perspectives in art.

Notably, Braque's experiences, such as the Cézanne retrospective and his reaction to Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, helped to shape his transition into Cubism. Their partnership saw the birth of both analytic Cubism and later, synthetic Cubism, with Braque often experimenting with texture and form, and eventually, collage.
