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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
When one reaches this state of harmony between things and one's self, one reaches a state of perfect freedom and peace-which makes everything possible and right. Life becomes perpetual revelation.
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
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
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
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
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
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
