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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Scientific perspective forces the objects in a picture to disappear away from the beholder instead of bringing them within his reach as painting should.
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
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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 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
With age, art and life become one.
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
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
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
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
