A spearhead of Cubism with Picasso half a century earlier, Braque has largely conquered the walls of the world's greatest museums. And it is no coincidence that in 1948, the painter was awarded the Grand Prix of the Venice Biennale at the end of the first edition organized since the end of the war. The following year, important retrospectives were devoted to him in New York and Cleveland, reinforcing, if it were still necessary, his international recognition.
