More quotes by Georges Braque

Image
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Image
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Image
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
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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Image
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Image
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Image
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Image
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Image
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Image
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Image
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Image
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Image
Scientific perspective forces the objects in a picture to disappear away from the beholder instead of bringing them within his reach as painting should.
