More quotes by 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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Image
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Image
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Image
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Image
Perspective starts from one viewpoint and never gets away from it. But the viewpoint is quite unimportant. It is though someone were to draw profiles all his life, leading people to think that a man has only one eye.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Image
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Image
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
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.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
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
Image
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Image
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
