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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
If we had never met Picasso, would Cubism have been what it is? I think not. The meeting with Picasso was a circumstance in our lives.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
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
Scientific perspective forces the objects in a picture to disappear away from the beholder instead of bringing them within his reach as painting should.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
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 like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
