More quotes by 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
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Scientific perspective forces the objects in a picture to disappear away from the beholder instead of bringing them within his reach as painting should.
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
I find that it is important to work slowly. Anyone who looks at such a canvas will follow the same path the artist took, and he will experience that it is the path which counts more than the outcome of it, and that the route taken has been the most interesting part.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
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
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
