More quotes by 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
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
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.
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
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
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
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
