More quotes by Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
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
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
What greatly attracted me - and it was the main line of advance of Cubism - was how to give material expression to this new space of which I had an inkling. So I began to paint chiefly still lifes, because in nature there is a tactile, I would almost say a manual space... that was the earliest Cubist painting - the quest for space.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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 am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
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
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
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
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
