More quotes by Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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 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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
