Ab 1907 entfernte sich Braque vom Fauvismus und näherte sich Cezannes strukturiertem Stil an. Durch eine Begegnung mit Picasso in dessen Atelier, veränderte sich seine Formgebung erneut und näherte sich so allmählich dem Kubismus, für den er berühmt wurde. Nach dem 1. Weltkrieg und einer Kopfverletzung, entfernte er sich zunehmend vom Kubismus und Picasso und ging eigene Wege. (Zitat).
