More quotes by Georges Braque
I considered that the painter's personality should be kept out of things, and therefore pictures should be anonymous. It was I who decided that pictures should not be signed, and for a time Picasso did the same.
Georges Braque
When one reaches this state of harmony between things and one's self, one reaches a state of perfect freedom and peace-which makes everything possible and right. Life becomes perpetual revelation.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Poetry' is what distinguishes the cubist paintings Picasso and I arrived at intuitively from the lifeless sort of painting those who followed us tried, with such unfortunate results, to arrive at theoretically.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
I find that it is important to work slowly. Anyone who looks at such a canvas will follow the same path the artist took, and he will experience that it is the path which counts more than the outcome of it, and that the route taken has been the most interesting part.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
You put a blob of yellow here, and another at the further edge of the canvas: straight away a rapport is established between them. Colour acts in the way that music does.
Georges Braque
I do not think my painting has ever been revolutionary. It was not directed against any kind of painting. I have never wanted to prove that I was right and someone else wrong.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
I thought that from the moment someone else could do the same as myself, there was no difference between the pictures and they should not be signed. Afterwards I realized it was not so and began to sign my pictures again. Picasso had begun again anyhow.
Georges Braque
