Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.

With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Image
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Image
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.

Image
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.

In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.

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
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
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
Image
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Image
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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.

Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Image
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
