“Picasso and Braque wanted to represent the fact that our knowledge of an object is made up of all possible views of it : top, sides, front, back. They wanted to compress this inspection, which takes time, into one moment – one synthesized view.”

How can any painting give you more information than reality? It is doomed to be a two-dimensional representation, no matter how alive the “illusion” is.
