There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Image
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Image
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Image
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Image
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
Image
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Image
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Image
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
