Following his development, with Pablo Picasso, of Analytical Cubism in the early 1910s, Braque (1882-1963) enlisted in World War I with the French Army and, in May 1915, received a severe head injury in battle at Carency and suffered temporary blindness. He required a long period of recuperation and finally returned to painting in late 1916. Braque relocated tot he Normandy coast and began to move away from Cubism and developed a more personal style characterized by brilliant color, textured surfaces, and the reappearance of the human figure.
