Room 18: Every Side at Once

In the manner of Pablo Picasso · Spanish, 1881–1973 · Cubism

Cubism was a way of telling the truth about looking: you never see a face from one angle, you assemble it from many. A world seen through front cameras, rear cameras and mirrors is already cubist. Someone just has to paint it.
