More quotes by Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
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
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
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
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
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
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
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
If we had never met Picasso, would Cubism have been what it is? I think not. The meeting with Picasso was a circumstance in our lives.
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
