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
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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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 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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
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
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
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
The function of Art is to disturb. 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
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
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
