More quotes by Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
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
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
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
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
