Poetry' is what distinguishes the cubist paintings Picasso and I arrived at intuitively from the lifeless sort of painting those who followed us tried, with such unfortunate results, to arrive at theoretically.

More quotes by Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
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
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
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
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
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
