More quotes by 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
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
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
Art disturbs, science reassures.
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
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
Art is a wound turned into light.
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
With age, art and life become one.
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
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Illusions... are simple facts, but they have been created by the mind, by the spirit, and they are one of the justifications of the new spatial configuration.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
