More quotes by Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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 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
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
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
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
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
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
