“The heart of the problem is not so much how we see objects in depth, as how we see the constant layout of the world around us. Space, as such, empty space, is not visible, but surfaces are.” WorldHeartProblemSpaceObjectsEmptyConstantDepthSurfaceVisibleEmpty SpaceLayout Author:James J. Gibson
“In the early days the Cubism' method of grasping an object was to go round and round it. The Futurists declared that one had to get inside it. In my opinion the two views can be reconciled in a poetic cognition of the world. But to the very fact that they appealed to the creative depths in the painter by awakening in him hidden forces which were intuitive and vitalizing, the Futurist theories did more than the Cubist principles to open up unexplored and boundless horizons.” WorldTwoFactsForceViewsOpinionPrinciplesCreativeObjectsTheoryMethodDepthRoundsAwakeningPainterPoeticHorizonIntuitiveBoundlessCognitionGraspingUnexploredFuturist Author:Gino Severini
“I think of consciousness as a bottomless lake, whose waters seem transparent, yet into which we can clearly see but a little way.But in this water there are countless objects at different depths; and certain influences will give certain kinds of those objects an upward influence which may be intense enough and continue long enough to bring them into the upper visible layer.

“In creativity the way will be found for subject to pass into object, the identity of subject with object will be restored. All the great creators have foreseen this turning-point.
