More quotes by Georges Braque
Perspective starts from one viewpoint and never gets away from it. But the viewpoint is quite unimportant. It is though someone were to draw profiles all his life, leading people to think that a man has only one eye.
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
You put a blob of yellow here, and another at the further edge of the canvas: straight away a rapport is established between them. Colour acts in the way that music does.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
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
