Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.

More quotes by 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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
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
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
