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.

More quotes by 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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
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
Art disturbs, science reassures.
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
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.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
