More quotes by Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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 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
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
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
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
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
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
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
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
