More quotes by Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque

Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque

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
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
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
