More quotes by Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
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
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
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
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
