More quotes by 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
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Image
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Image
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Image
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Image
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Image
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
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
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
Image
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Image
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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 have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Image
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Image
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
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
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
Image
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
