Georges Braque French, 1882–1963
Landscape at L'Estaque
1906
Georges Braque's 'Landscape at L'Estaque' (1907) was painted alongside Derain and Matisse in the Fauvist summer of 1906–1907 in the Mediterranean fishing village near Marseilles. Flat blocks of acidic orange, green, and blue replace naturalistic modelling; the following summer Braque would return to L'Estaque and, under Cézanne's influence, begin inventing Cubism. Oil on canvas, Art Institute of Chicago.
