More quotes by 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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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

Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
