Chapter 8: The Prehistory of Written Language: "There's also a story about Picasso in which someone asked him why he didn't draw representational images. Picasso asked the man for an example of what he meant, so the questioner produced a photograph of his wife. Picasso then asked the man if his wife was really 5 centimeters tall, two dimensional, was nothing but a head, and had skin tones that were shades of gray (Picasso also famously said that when he was a child he had drawn like Raphael, but it had taken the rest of his life in order to learn to draw like a child)."

Flowery speech...

Abounding in organic elements;
flowery; florid; as, a highly figurative description.

One of the things I enjoy most about your work is the enormity of images I see in each piece. The longer I look, the more there is to behold.
