More quotes by Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
