Edinburgh's Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art holds 1 work by Georges Braque (1882–1963) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Braque co-invented Cubism with Picasso in one of the most revolutionary collaborations in art history, working so closely between 1908 and 1914 that their canvases were often indistinguishable. After being wounded in World War I he developed a more personal, lyrical style. He worked in Paris and Normandy throughout his long career.
