More quotes by Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
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
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
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
If we had never met Picasso, would Cubism have been what it is? I think not. The meeting with Picasso was a circumstance in our lives.
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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
