More quotes by Georges Braque
When objects shattered into fragments appeared in my painting about 1909, this for me was a way of getting closest to the object... Fragmentation helped me to establish space and movement in space.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, 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
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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
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
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
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
