More quotes by 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
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
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
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
