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
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
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
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
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
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
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
