Shock of the New

Realism where a piece of art is an almost exact carbon copy of its subject, and abstraction, where all dimensions of a painting (color, shape, value, size, etc) smushed together in one plane, are point of views an artist can chose for his/her self to express themselves with. But Picasso argues that he never made an abstract piece of art. If true, is there really no “realism” or “abstract” or other forms of art but perspective (point of view)? Like how Cezanne’s work was described as, “Is this how I see things?” not “This is how I see things.”
