The bits of glued paper, the imitation wood and other elements of the same sort,

which I have employed in some of my designs, are equally valid because of the

simplicity of these compositional facts, and for that reason have been confused with

illusion, of which they are the exact contrary. They too are simple facts, but they

been created by mind, by the spirit, and they are one of the justifications of a new

spatial figuration (Braque, “Pensées et réflexions sur la peinture,” Nord-sud).
