...bodegon, or kitchen still life, the isolated object against a plain field, brought to its fullest intensity by Zurbaran and Sanchez Cotan in the early 17th century. Echoes of the bodegones continued in Spanish art for hundreds of years; they could still be seen in Picasso's cubist still lifes. But Lopez's skinned rabbit goes straight back to the source, taking in a vivid memory of Goya's still lifes along...
Hockney said that Cubism is an attempt to make the viewer's eye move as if the scene itself were actually moving. Cubist painting achieves this, Hockney said, because it is disjointed; the whole scene cannot be taken in at once but instead forces a spectator to participate in the representation...

Warner's intent is too ambitious for his means, though correcting this problem without including text may exceed even Warner's ingenuity...

I think I'm about to change my mind on whether Faulkner was a cubist.' Now that's numbing stuff, and some of it went on with Eudora's work today...
