More quotes by Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
When objects shattered into fragments appeared in my painting about 1909, this for me was a way of getting closest to the object... Fragmentation helped me to establish space and movement in space.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
