Georges Braque
artist
French painter
The collaboration
In 1954 Braque meets Egidio and with him discovers sculpture in glass. Together they make The Meeting (La Rencontre), a glass plate on which a man and a woman meet.
“In life – says Braque – everything is linked, everything rests on relationships. The relationship of a man and a woman culminates in the birth of a child (it is the same between the artist and his subject): they are the ones who make the work, but they do not matter at all; what counts is what comes of their relationship.”
