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
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque

Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
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.

Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
I do not think my painting has ever been revolutionary. It was not directed against any kind of painting. I have never wanted to prove that I was right and someone else wrong.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.

Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
