“I couldn't portray a women in all her natural loveliness.. I haven't the skill. No one has. 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

“One of the most important skills at [reporting] is not so much what comes out of your mouth but what you hear. To listen.
