More quotes by Georges Braque
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
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
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
Illusions... are simple facts, but they have been created by the mind, by the spirit, and they are one of the justifications of the new spatial configuration.
Georges Braque
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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
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
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
