1999

Anything is always part of the definition of something else, nothing is so “unique” that it has no relationship to anything else.

Invention is always the result of combined thought; even if that thought dictates the eventual absence of one or more of the elements of the inventive formula.

Collage came to exist as a viable media as much by the subtraction of the drawn or painted image, as by it’s replacement with printed wallpaper or newsprint and steel sewing pins. Picasso’s visual equations became a variant of Braque’s and vice-versa. This mutual influence resulted in a visual language which in turn was paragraphical in the coming definition of Modernism.
