It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque

Georges Braque

Georges Braque

Georges Braque

Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
