More quotes by Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
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
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
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
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
