More quotes by Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
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
