More quotes by 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
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
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
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque

The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
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
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
