“The simplest Surrealist act consists of dashing down the street, pistol in hand, and firing blindly, as fast as you can pull the trigger, into the crowd.

I must, therefore, create a new sort of beauty, the beauty that appears to me in terms of volume of line, of mass, of weight, and through that beauty interpret my subjective impression. Nature is mere a pretext for decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art. I want to express the absolute, not merely the factitious woman.” WantArtTermNaturalLinesEmotionHavensSkillsMassWeightAbsolutesMereImpressionPlusSentimentsTranslateVolumeCompositionSubjectiveLovelinessPretext Book:Georges Braque Source: Georges Braque
