More quotes by Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
Scientific perspective forces the objects in a picture to disappear away from the beholder instead of bringing them within his reach as painting should.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Perspective starts from one viewpoint and never gets away from it. But the viewpoint is quite unimportant. It is though someone were to draw profiles all his life, leading people to think that a man has only one eye.
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
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
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
When objects shattered into fragments appeared in my painting about 1909, this for me was a way of getting closest to the object... Fragmentation helped me to establish space and movement in space.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
If we had never met Picasso, would Cubism have been what it is? I think not. The meeting with Picasso was a circumstance in our lives.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
