More quotes by Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
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
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.
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. 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
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
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
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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 art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
You put a blob of yellow here, and another at the further edge of the canvas: straight away a rapport is established between them. Colour acts in the way that music does.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
