A Climb up the Mountain with Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque

Tomorrow is the fifth lecture in the 150 Years of Contemporary Art Lecture Series focusing on A Climb up the Mountain with Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.

Pablo Picasso - Nude Figure- 1909–10

"Georges Braque described his partnership with Pablo Picasso as “like two mountain climbers tied together.” In one of the most famous collaborations in the history of art, Braque and Picasso invented Cubism, one of the most influential movements of the twentieth century. Picasso and Braque’s invention inspired many fellow artists—including Juan Gris, Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, and Julio Gonzalez—to create their own forms of cubism." -source
