More quotes by Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but 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
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
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
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
