More quotes by Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
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
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
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
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
