More quotes by Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
Illusions... are simple facts, but they have been created by the mind, by the spirit, and they are one of the justifications of the new spatial configuration.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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 a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
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
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
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
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
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
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
