I think cubism has not fully been developed. It is treated like a style, pigeonholed and that's it.

Cubism was an attack on the perspective that had been known and used for 500 years. It was the first big, big change. It confused people: they said, 'Things don't look like that!'

I think music has gone through a period of something very severe, rather radical, rather the way painting did with cubism.
