The evolution of Georges Braque’s career in many ways mirrors that of modern painting – in the early years of the 20th century, he moved with speed and assurance through the successive avant-garde movements of Fauvism and Cubism (which he helped shape with Picasso), on to papier collé and later to a more personal, Expressionist idiom. This show at the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf (25 September–23 January 2022) brings together around 60 works, focusing on Braque’s prodigious output from 1906–14.
