Quotes by Georges Braque

Georges Braque

“Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry”

“Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.”

“Art is made to disturb. Science reassures.”

“Truth exists; only lies are invented.”

“Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.”

“There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.”

“To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.”

We must not imitate that which we seek to create.

Art upsets science reassures.

Truth exists. Only lies are invented.

Truth exists only lies are invented.

There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.

Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.

Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.

Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
