Georges Braque's Mandora Revealed!

I travelled to see Mandora 1909 By Georges Braque at the Tate Modern London. Come join me there too. Welcome to Art, Culture & Travel with me, Anthony King.
Georges Braque (1882-1963) was born and worked in France and is of course, one of the world's most famous artists. He painted this instrument and the gallery tell us: "Braque collected musical instruments. His interest is reflected in this painting of a small lute called a mandora. Its fragmented style suggests a sense of rhythm and acoustic reverberation that matches the musical subject. Braque explained that he liked to include instruments in his cubist works: 'in the first place because I was surrounded by them, and secondly because their plasticity, their volumes, related to my particular concept of still life".
