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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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 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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
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
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
What greatly attracted me - and it was the main line of advance of Cubism - was how to give material expression to this new space of which I had an inkling. So I began to paint chiefly still lifes, because in nature there is a tactile, I would almost say a manual space... that was the earliest Cubist painting - the quest for space.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
