More quotes by 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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
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
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
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
Emotion should not be rendered by an excited trembling it can neither be added on nor be imitated. It is the seed, the work is the flower.
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
