ABSTRACT
Thank goodness for everyone’s private way; that leads to an “everywhere”, that for others is a “nowhere”. The private way is a “short-cut” through time. The incisions attempted by ellipticalness of expression and arbitrariness of thought, having acquired legitimacy quite some time ago, allow the eye to no longer despair at traditional designs. The one most unabashedly sincere becomes the most effective innovator. The frugality and asceticism emitted by Braque’s works and by those of Juan Gris and Leger, literally gave substance to something that was an ideal. They revealed a detachment from the attempt to portray the reality of illusion and a wish to perceive the object in its structural truth, in the way that it is viewed by the mind in the cosmic order. Natural beauty suppresses conceptual beauty, which demands its total detachment and development as far as the improbable.
