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.
