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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
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
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
With age, art and life become one.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
Poetry' is what distinguishes the cubist paintings Picasso and I arrived at intuitively from the lifeless sort of painting those who followed us tried, with such unfortunate results, to arrive at theoretically.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
