More quotes by Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
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
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
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.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
If we had never met Picasso, would Cubism have been what it is? I think not. The meeting with Picasso was a circumstance in our lives.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
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
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
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
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
