More quotes by Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
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
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
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
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
