Georges Braque

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.

Art is meant to disturb, science reassures.

Art is made to disturb, science reassures.

Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.

Truth exists; only lies are invented.

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

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