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.

More quotes by Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
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
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
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
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
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
I thought that from the moment someone else could do the same as myself, there was no difference between the pictures and they should not be signed. Afterwards I realized it was not so and began to sign my pictures again. Picasso had begun again anyhow.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
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
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
