Georges Braque
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
Image
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
Image
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
Image
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
