Pablo Picasso
Spanish · b. 1881

Picasso co-founded Cubism alongside Braque and similarly deconstructed natural forms including birds and animals into fragmented geometric planes, sharing the same analytical approach to breaking down organic subjects into abstract facets.

Juan Gris
Spanish · b. 1887

Gris developed a refined synthetic Cubist style that shares Braque's characteristic fragmentation of natural subjects into interlocking geometric shapes, with a similarly ordered and structured compositional sensibility.

Fernand Léger
French · b. 1881

Léger worked in a Cubist influenced geometric abstraction style that also incorporated natural and organic subjects transformed into bold simplified forms, echoing Braque's method of reshaping recognizable motifs into composed abstract arrangements.
