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
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
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
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
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 not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
