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.

More quotes by Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
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
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
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
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
