What was Picasso's central idea about visual perception?
My central idea revolved around the idea that a single viewpoint is a lie. We perceive the world not as a flat image, but as a composite of many experiences, from different angles, at different times. Cubism was my attempt to translate this complex, multi-faceted experience onto a two-dimensional surface. I wanted to show the object as it is known, not just as it is seen from one specific position at one specific moment.
