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
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
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
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
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
I thought that from the moment someone else could do the same as myself, there was no difference between the pictures and they should not be signed. Afterwards I realized it was not so and began to sign my pictures again. Picasso had begun again anyhow.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
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
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
