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
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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 have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
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
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
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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
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
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
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.
