There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
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
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Image
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Image
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.

Image
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.

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.

I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Image
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque

Georges Braque
Image
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque

Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
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
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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Image
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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.
