Scientific perspective forces the objects in a picture to disappear away from the beholder instead of bringing them within his reach as painting should.

More quotes by 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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
I considered that the painter's personality should be kept out of things, and therefore pictures should be anonymous. It was I who decided that pictures should not be signed, and for a time Picasso did the same.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
I thought that from the moment someone else could do the same as myself, there was no difference between the pictures and they should not be signed. Afterwards I realized it was not so and began to sign my pictures again. Picasso had begun again anyhow.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
When objects shattered into fragments appeared in my painting about 1909, this for me was a way of getting closest to the object... Fragmentation helped me to establish space and movement in space.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
