More quotes by 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
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
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
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
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
