More quotes by 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
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
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
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
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
When objects shattered into fragments appeared in my painting about 1909, this for me was a way of getting closest to the object... Fragmentation helped me to establish space and movement in space.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
I do not think my painting has ever been revolutionary. It was not directed against any kind of painting. I have never wanted to prove that I was right and someone else wrong.
Georges Braque
