Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Image
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Image
Art is a wound turned into light.
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
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.

Georges Braque
Image
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Image
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
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
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Image
Emotion should not be rendered by an excited trembling it can neither be added on nor be imitated. It is the seed, the work is the flower.
Georges Braque
Image
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Image
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
Image
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
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.
