More quotes by Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
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
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
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
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
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
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 a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
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
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
