More quotes by Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
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
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
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
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
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
