More quotes by Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque

Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque

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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
You put a blob of yellow here, and another at the further edge of the canvas: straight away a rapport is established between them. Colour acts in the way that music does.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
