Brackish

Excellent review of a new biography of Georges Braque; I prefer his Cubist stuff to Picasso's, and the reviewer evokes some of the feel of his painting and sculpture fairly well. Despite the earthy palette of most of his famous work (which is commonly interpreted as being dull due to a lack of brightness or something equally spurious), there's a vigor and a humour to Braque that makes the paintings strangely fun, something this book apparently nails.
