More quotes by Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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 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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
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 have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
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
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Critics should help people see for themselves they should never try to define things, or impose their own explanations, though I admit that if... a critic's explanations serve to increase the general obscurity, that's all to the good.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
