More quotes by Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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
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
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
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
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
