Braque studied painting from 1897-1899 a the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He took his love for artistic painting to the next level where he then moved to Paris. From 1902-1904 he continued to paint at the Academie Humbert. In 1910 a close artist and friend Pablo Picasso introduced Braque to model Marcelle Lapre which then later married in 1912. Braque also served in the French Army during World War I and sustained wounds to the head in 1915. With his failing health that prevented Braque from creating any large-scale commissioned projects he still continues with his art work in 1917.
