Join the roomGeorges Braque fue un importante pintor, colagista, dibujante, grabador y escultor francés del siglo XX. Sus contribuciones más notables fueron su alianza con el fauvismo a partir de 1905, y el papel que desempeñó en el desarrollo del cubismo. El trabajo de Braque entre 1908 y 1912 está estrechamente asociado con el de su colega Pablo Picasso. Sus respectivas obras cubistas fueron indistinguibles durante muchos años, sin embargo, la naturaleza tranquila de Braque fue parcialmente eclipsada por la fama y notoriedad de Picasso.
“In art progress consists not in extension but in the knowledge of its limits.”
“Art is polymorphic. A picture appears to each onlooker under a different guise.”
“By using a white paint applied to the canvas I make a napkin. But I am sure the white shape is something conceived before knowing what it was to become. This means that a certain transformation has taken place.. .In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.”
“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.”
“One day I noticed that I could go on working art my motif no matter what the weather might be. I no longer needed the sun, for I took my light everywhere with me.”
“Colour came into its own with papiers collés.. ..with these works we [Braque, and a little later Picasso, started to make 'collage art', circa 1912] succeeded in dissociating colour from form, in putting it on a footing independent of form, for that was the crux of the matter. Colour acts simultaneously with form, but has nothing to do with form.”
