More quotes by 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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
The painter thinks in terms of form and color. The goal is not to be concerned with the reconstitution of an anecdotal fact, but with constitution of a pictorial fact.
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
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
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
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.
