Georges Braque — French Artist born on May 13, 1882, died on August 31, 1963

Georges Braque was a major 20th-century French painter, collagist, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor. His most important contributions to the history of art were in his alliance with Fauvism from 1906, and the role he played in the development of Cubism. Braque’s work between 1908 and 1912 is closely associated with that of his colleague Pablo Picasso. Their respective Cubist works were indistinguishable for many years, yet the quiet nature of Braque was partially eclipsed by the fame and notoriety of Picasso... (wikipedia)

Truth exists; only lies are invented.
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Art is made to disturb, science reassures.
