More quotes by Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
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
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
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
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
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
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.
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
