Georges Braque (1882–1963)
Georges Braque was a French painter who was a leader in one of the most important art movements of the 20th century — Cubism. Together with Pablo Picasso, he invented this revolutionary style around 1907–1908. In Cubist works, everyday objects — like guitars, bottles, or faces — are shown from multiple viewpoints at the same time. Instead of smooth, realistic images, Braque used sharp angles, flat planes, and geometric shapes such as cubes, cones, and cylinders. His colour palette was often muted or neutral (grey, beige, brown, and black), which helped focus on form not colour. Braque’s art is abstract, not copying real life. Instead, it invites the viewer to interpret and reconstruct the image in their mind. His works are full of hidden meaning.

Salvador Dalí (1904–1989)
Salvador Dalí was a Spanish artist known for his surreal, dream-like paintings. He was one of the leading figures of the Surrealist movement, which explored the world of the unconscious mind, dreams, and imagination. Dalí’s art is full of strange, bizarre, and fantastical elements — like melting clocks, floating rocks, or human figures. His most famous painting, The Persistence of Memory (1931), shows soft, droping clocks in a dry, empty landscape. This image says that time is not fixed — it can stretch, bend, or disappear, just like in a dream. Dalí often used vivid colours, precise brushwork, and hyper-realistic details, even though his scenes were completely imaginary. His style creates a strange mix of reality and fantasy, which makes people stop, look closely, and wonder: “What does this mean?”

• Чтение с пониманием: ученики читают про себя или вслух (по абзацам).
