Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
