More quotes by Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
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
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
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
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
When one reaches this state of harmony between things and one's self, one reaches a state of perfect freedom and peace-which makes everything possible and right. Life becomes perpetual revelation.
Georges Braque
