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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
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
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
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
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
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, 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
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
