More quotes by Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
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
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
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
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
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
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
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
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
