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
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
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
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
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
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
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
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
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
