Georges Braque
Image

Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Image
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
