Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.

More quotes by Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
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
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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 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
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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
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
What greatly attracted me - and it was the main line of advance of Cubism - was how to give material expression to this new space of which I had an inkling. So I began to paint chiefly still lifes, because in nature there is a tactile, I would almost say a manual space... that was the earliest Cubist painting - the quest for space.
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
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
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
Illusions... are simple facts, but they have been created by the mind, by the spirit, and they are one of the justifications of the new spatial configuration.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
