More quotes by Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
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
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
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
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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
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.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
