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
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
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
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
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
