Both Picasso and Braque were living in Montmartre in Paris around this time and developed a close working relationship - Picasso referred to their friendship as a ‘marriage’, and Braque said, ‘We were like two mountain climbers roped together,’ - so much so it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between their works. One year earlier Picasso also encountered Iberian and African art similar, simplified human forms can be seen in his Demoiselles D’Avignon, 1907.

In 1907, a retrospective exhibition of work by French Post-Impressionist Paul Cézanne was held at the Salon d’Automne including his Montagne Sainte-Victoire series, 1904-06, in which scenes were reduced to broken planes of colour and form, fascinating both Braque and Picasso. Artist Juan Gris said, ‘Truth is beyond any realism, and the appearance of things should not be confused with their essence.’ In a 1908 review, art critic Louis Vauxcelles said Braque, ‘despises form and reduces everything, landscapes and figures and houses, to geometric patterns, to cubes.’ Although initially derogatory, the term Cubism soon took hold. One of their primary aims was to represent reality as we experience it all around us, rather than as a static, unmoving state. Both artists abandoned linear perspective, instead showing objects from varying angles and viewpoints in a geometric, deconstructed style.
