More quotes by Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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 starts from one viewpoint and never gets away from it. But the viewpoint is quite unimportant. It is though someone were to draw profiles all his life, leading people to think that a man has only one eye.
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
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
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
With age, art and life become one.
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
When objects shattered into fragments appeared in my painting about 1909, this for me was a way of getting closest to the object... Fragmentation helped me to establish space and movement in space.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
