More quotes by Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Emotion should not be rendered by an excited trembling it can neither be added on nor be imitated. It is the seed, the work is the flower.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
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
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
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
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
The painter thinks in terms of form and color. The goal is not to be concerned with the reconstitution of an anecdotal fact, but with constitution of a pictorial fact.
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 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
