More quotes by 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
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
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
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
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
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
Emotion should not be rendered by an excited trembling it can neither be added on nor be imitated. It is the seed, the work is the flower.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
