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
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
The painter thinks in terms of form and color. The goal is not to be concerned with the reconstitution of an anecdotal fact, but with constitution of a pictorial fact.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
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
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
