More quotes by Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
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
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
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
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
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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
I do not think my painting has ever been revolutionary. It was not directed against any kind of painting. I have never wanted to prove that I was right and someone else wrong.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
