More quotes by Georges Braque

Art is meant to disturb, science reassures.

Le Jour et la nuit: Cahiers 1917–52 ['Day and Night: Notebooks (1952)

In art progress consists not in extension but in the knowledge of its limits.

Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our [Braque & Picasso's, in the start of Cubism] conception of space.
