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

Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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

Georges Braque

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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
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
