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
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
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
When one reaches this state of harmony between things and one's self, one reaches a state of perfect freedom and peace-which makes everything possible and right. Life becomes perpetual revelation.
Georges Braque
