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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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 do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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
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 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
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
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
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
