More quotes by Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Poetry' is what distinguishes the cubist paintings Picasso and I arrived at intuitively from the lifeless sort of painting those who followed us tried, with such unfortunate results, to arrive at theoretically.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
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
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
When one reaches this state of harmony between things and one's self, one reaches a state of perfect freedom and peace-which makes everything possible and right. Life becomes perpetual revelation.
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
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
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
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
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
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
