More quotes by Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
When one reaches this state of harmony between things and one's self, one reaches a state of perfect freedom and peace-which makes everything possible and right. Life becomes perpetual revelation.
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
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 is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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
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
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
