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.

More quotes by Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
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
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
I do not think my painting has ever been revolutionary. It was not directed against any kind of painting. I have never wanted to prove that I was right and someone else wrong.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
