More quotes by Georges Braque

Image
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
Image
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Image
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Image
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Image
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Image
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Image
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Image
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Image
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Image
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Image
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Image
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Image
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Image
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
Image
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
