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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
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
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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, 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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
