More quotes by Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque

Georges Braque

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

Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.

Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
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
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
