Cubism

The barber-leaf was a rough rectangle less than an inch thick and about five by six inches in area, obviously of modern origin.

Its designs, however, were far from modern in atmosphere and suggestion, for although the vagaries of Cubism and Futurism are many and wild, they do not often reproduce that cryptic regularity which lurks in prehistoric writing.

And writing of some kind the bulk of these designs seemed certainly to be.

though my memory, despite much the papers and collections of my uncle, failed in any way to identify this particular species or even hint at its remotest affiliations.

And then we had perhaps four centuries of mastery of that classical art and, and sculpture, both bronze and stone.

And w- w- when, what got you into the f- field? W- were you afraid that we might even lose that ability as a people to, to sculpt as the way that the classical Greeks or, or Romans did?

That doesn't mean your art can't evolve over time.

Picasso's art evolved from Rose period to Cubism to his more mature period.

Christopher Nolan's movies have evolved since we're talking about that today.

The Odyssey is a very different visual experience than Inception.

really looking for any approval.

And I think you got to know what made Cubism exist in the first place.

It was Picasso and his folks really rebelling against the camera at the time.

Because if a camera's going to capture something, why are you trying to be an impressionist or a realist? It's a great workout.

But it is.

Even if it, too, feels like something out of Jazz Age Paris, like his angular, somewhat Cuba's painting from 1926, Two Girls, One Sailor.
