Image

It’s over a hundred years since le Cubisme made its first appearance, spearheaded by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, with perhaps a precursive boost by Paul Cézanne. The movement purported to offer a different way of looking at things, by chopping up the image with different views of its subject. Then came Comic Books, which chopped up the page with different slices of represented life. Now comes the self-aggrandizing Gary W. Bowers, who presents the same subject at slightly different viewpoints and times, thanks to camcorder technology and nifty photo-editing software. (Andy Warhol gave me a precursive boost with his image multiplicities. Thanks and RIP, Andy!) New Cubism lives!
