More quotes by Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Poetry' is what distinguishes the cubist paintings Picasso and I arrived at intuitively from the lifeless sort of painting those who followed us tried, with such unfortunate results, to arrive at theoretically.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
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
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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
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
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
