excerpt - the 'cubisters'

Another gem from "Bohemian Paris," by Dan Franck - ISBN 0-8021-1697-3

pg. 140 -

"This stubborn refusal to meet with those who aggressively claimed for themselves a title which was rightfully only theirs showed the contempt they held for those whom Braque called the 'cubisters.' Picasso was even more brutal, not hesitating to proclaim, 'There is no such thing as cubism,' a pronouncement which would prove to be as provocative as the sentence he was to pronounce on Negro art in the twenties, 'Negro art? Never heard of it ...' This attitude expressed both his wish to mark his difference and his contempt for schools and theories."
