More quotes by Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
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
I considered that the painter's personality should be kept out of things, and therefore pictures should be anonymous. It was I who decided that pictures should not be signed, and for a time Picasso did the same.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
