More quotes by 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 do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
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
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
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
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
