More quotes by Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
What greatly attracted me - and it was the main line of advance of Cubism - was how to give material expression to this new space of which I had an inkling. So I began to paint chiefly still lifes, because in nature there is a tactile, I would almost say a manual space... that was the earliest Cubist painting - the quest for space.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
Illusions... are simple facts, but they have been created by the mind, by the spirit, and they are one of the justifications of the new spatial configuration.
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
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
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
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
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
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
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
