More quotes by 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
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
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
With age, art and life become one.
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
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
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
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
