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 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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
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
Emotion should not be rendered by an excited trembling it can neither be added on nor be imitated. It is the seed, the work is the flower.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
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
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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
