More quotes by 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 do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
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
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
You put a blob of yellow here, and another at the further edge of the canvas: straight away a rapport is established between them. Colour acts in the way that music does.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
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
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
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
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
