More quotes by 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
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
When one reaches this state of harmony between things and one's self, one reaches a state of perfect freedom and peace-which makes everything possible and right. Life becomes perpetual revelation.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
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
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
