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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
I considered that the painter's personality should be kept out of things, and therefore pictures should be anonymous. It was I who decided that pictures should not be signed, and for a time Picasso did the same.
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
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
