More quotes by 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
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
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
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
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
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
Art is a wound turned into light.
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
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 do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
