More quotes by Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
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
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
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
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
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.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
