If all I am is flesh and bone,
My body a disguise;
Maybe I am not alone,
in this masquerade of demise.
So if my soul is empty,
But the life I breathe is real;
may it be I live for plenty,
With my flesh and bone concealed.
The influential art of cubism was introduced by Picasso, Braque, and Gris. Cubism made it's appearance during a time when art was only recognized for representing colours and light. Our mind does not tend to focus on colours nor light, but shapes. "When we discovered Cubism, we did not have the aim of discovering Cubism. We only wanted to express what was in us." - Picasso. It is a technique where the artists paint not what they see with their eyes, but their minds. The simplistic nature of cubism actually is what reflects it's ironical complexity. There are various types of cubism however, the styles are literally as diverse as the artists' minds themselves. Every artist expresses their own method, but in all cases, they view objects in a way the mind perceives them; in it's elemental and figural form. ”I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.” -Picasso
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretch'd in never-endling line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not be but gay
In such a jocund company!
I gazed and gazed but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils.
