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.

I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Image
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Image
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Image
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Image
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
I find that it is important to work slowly. Anyone who looks at such a canvas will follow the same path the artist took, and he will experience that it is the path which counts more than the outcome of it, and that the route taken has been the most interesting part.
Georges Braque
Image
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Image
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Image
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.
