Quote by Georges Braque

Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures.

Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures.

Summary

This quote suggests that the purpose of art is to challenge and provoke, while science aims to provide comfort and stability. Art offers a platform for expressing unconventional ideas, questioning the status quo, and generating emotional responses. It strives to disrupt the norms, allowing individuals to reflect, reinterpret, and engage with the world in a way that can be unsettling but ultimately transformative. In contrast, science often seeks to establish facts, explanations, and methods that offer reassurance and build a sense of understanding and control over the natural world. The quote highlights the distinct roles and effects of these two disciplines in society.
