BRAQUE GRIS BECKMANN

I believe that John Hejduk drew his inspiration for this character’s name from 3 prominent artists from within the Cubism and Expressionist movements. These artists were:

Georges Braque

Juan Gris

Max Beckmann

All of these artists were called up for war and were challenged to deal with this within their art; this giving me the inspiration to create the character that is Braque Gris Beckmann. A man that is consumed with the terrifying memories of war that now control his life.
