Quote

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.

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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Image
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Image
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
Image
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Image
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
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
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
Image
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Image
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Image
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Image
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
