More quotes by 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
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
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
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
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
You put a blob of yellow here, and another at the further edge of the canvas: straight away a rapport is established between them. Colour acts in the way that music does.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
