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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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 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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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 do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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 have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
