More quotes by Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Illusions... are simple facts, but they have been created by the mind, by the spirit, and they are one of the justifications of the new spatial configuration.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
Perspective starts from one viewpoint and never gets away from it. But the viewpoint is quite unimportant. It is though someone were to draw profiles all his life, leading people to think that a man has only one eye.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
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
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
If we had never met Picasso, would Cubism have been what it is? I think not. The meeting with Picasso was a circumstance in our lives.
Georges Braque
