More quotes by Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Progress in art does not consist in reducing limitations, but in knowing them better.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
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
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
I find that it is important to work slowly. Anyone who looks at such a canvas will follow the same path the artist took, and he will experience that it is the path which counts more than the outcome of it, and that the route taken has been the most interesting part.
Georges Braque
The painter thinks in terms of form and color. The goal is not to be concerned with the reconstitution of an anecdotal fact, but with constitution of a pictorial fact.
Georges Braque
What greatly attracted me - and it was the main line of advance of Cubism - was how to give material expression to this new space of which I had an inkling. So I began to paint chiefly still lifes, because in nature there is a tactile, I would almost say a manual space... that was the earliest Cubist painting - the quest for space.
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
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
