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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
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
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
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
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
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 am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
