...propose a systematic alternative to one-point perspective as the key to making things look real. There was no system to Cubist shuttling and lapping. Which does not mean it was anarchic, but rather that Picasso and Braque made up their coherences from passage to passage, from inch to inch of the canvas, rejecting the "timelessness" of traditional painting as they went...
