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.

More quotes by Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
The painter thinks in terms of form and color. The goal is not to be concerned with the reconstitution of an anecdotal fact, but with constitution of a pictorial fact.
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
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
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
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
