More quotes by Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Emotion should not be rendered by an excited trembling it can neither be added on nor be imitated. It is the seed, the work is the flower.
Georges Braque
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
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
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
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
When one reaches this state of harmony between things and one's self, one reaches a state of perfect freedom and peace-which makes everything possible and right. Life becomes perpetual revelation.
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
