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.

More quotes by Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
