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.

More quotes by Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
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
Critics should help people see for themselves they should never try to define things, or impose their own explanations, though I admit that if... a critic's explanations serve to increase the general obscurity, that's all to the good.
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
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
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
