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
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
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
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
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 like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
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
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
You put a blob of yellow here, and another at the further edge of the canvas: straight away a rapport is established between them. Colour acts in the way that music does.
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
