More quotes by Georges Braque

Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque

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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
When objects shattered into fragments appeared in my painting about 1909, this for me was a way of getting closest to the object... Fragmentation helped me to establish space and movement in space.
Georges Braque
