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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
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
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
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
