More quotes by Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
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
