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
With age, art and life become one.
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
Scientific perspective forces the objects in a picture to disappear away from the beholder instead of bringing them within his reach as painting should.
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
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
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
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
