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 space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
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
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
I considered that the painter's personality should be kept out of things, and therefore pictures should be anonymous. It was I who decided that pictures should not be signed, and for a time Picasso did the same.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
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 thought that from the moment someone else could do the same as myself, there was no difference between the pictures and they should not be signed. Afterwards I realized it was not so and began to sign my pictures again. Picasso had begun again anyhow.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
