More quotes by Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
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
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
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
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
It is not sufficient that what one paints should be made visible. It must be made tangible.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
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
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
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
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
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
