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
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
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
I considered that the painter's personality should be kept out of things, and therefore pictures should be anonymous. It was I who decided that pictures should not be signed, and for a time Picasso did the same.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Critics should help people see for themselves they should never try to define things, or impose their own explanations, though I admit that if... a critic's explanations serve to increase the general obscurity, that's all to the good.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
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
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
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
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
