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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
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
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
