More quotes by Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
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
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque

Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
