More quotes by 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
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
When objects shattered into fragments appeared in my painting about 1909, this for me was a way of getting closest to the object... Fragmentation helped me to establish space and movement in space.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
