A clue as to the artist . This man originally trained to be a painter and decorator of houses but became one of the most famous artists of the 20th century.

of his other work.
Georges Braque - "Terrace of Hotel Mistral" 1907
One of the progenitors of "Cubism" along with Picasso, although the "Terrace of Hotel Mistral" was completed just prior to Braque's transition into the pure "hard" geometric aspects associated with Cubism.

Hmmm...I'm sure this is way off the mark, but I'm seeing Nordic qualities or "feel" to the images.

You're getting warm... or "cool" as the case may be.:goof:
Our artist certainly hails from a nation known far more for it's wintry landscapes than its tropical beaches.:seeya:
