More quotes by Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
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
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
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.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
