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.

More quotes by Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
You put a blob of yellow here, and another at the further edge of the canvas: straight away a rapport is established between them. Colour acts in the way that music does.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
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
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
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
