More quotes by Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
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
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
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
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
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
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
