Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Image
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.

Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Image
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.

The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque

Georges Braque
Image
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Image
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Image
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
Image
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Image
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Image
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Image
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Image
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Image
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
