More quotes by Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
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
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
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
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque

Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque

Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
