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.
Georges Braque
Image
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
Image
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Image
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Image
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
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Image
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
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 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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Image
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Image
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Image
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Image
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Image
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
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.
