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
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Perspective starts from one viewpoint and never gets away from it. But the viewpoint is quite unimportant. It is though someone were to draw profiles all his life, leading people to think that a man has only one eye.
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
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
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
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
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
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
