More quotes by Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Illusions... are simple facts, but they have been created by the mind, by the spirit, and they are one of the justifications of the new spatial configuration.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
