Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque

Georges Braque

Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.

Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
