More quotes by Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
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
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
The painter thinks in terms of form and color. The goal is not to be concerned with the reconstitution of an anecdotal fact, but with constitution of a pictorial fact.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
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
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
