Karen K. Butler, assistant curator at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, discusses Georges Braque and the Cubist Still Life, 1928-1945.

The exhibition, which opens Jan. 25, is the first to explore Braque’s work in the years leading up to, and through, World War II—a period that has been virtually unexplored in previous scholarship about the artist.

Butler organized Georges Braque and the Cubist Still Life in collaboration with Renée Maurer, assistant curator at The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. Following its debut in St. Louis, the exhibition will travel to the Phillips Collection June 8 to Sept. 1, 2013.
