More quotes by 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
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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

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
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
