Georges Braque was born first. Braque was born on May 13, 1882, in Argenteuil, France. Pablo Picasso, his collaborator in the development of Cubism, was born later, on October 25, 1881, in Málaga, Spain. While Picasso is often more widely recognized, Braque's contributions to Cubism and modern art were equally significant. Therefore, Georges Braque was born before Pablo Picasso.
