I give credit to Braque and Picasso for creating a new  visual language, a new language of art called "Cubism". However, I believe they ventured outside the parameters of Cubism  as they progressed and their technique started to border on abstract art. This is fine but one should not call these particular paintings Cubist. Once the basic essence of Cubism is lost; the 3 view points of an object presented on 2 dimensional plane; a painting should not be called cubist. This can only leave the viewer feel cheated and confused. After all, every language has unique letters of alphabet of its own. Once letters of alphabet from another language are mixed then the message is lost and it can only lead to confusion.

Unlike Picasso and Braque, A.M. Casandre was true to the principles of his art and design. I really appreciate his use of grid spacing, positive and negative space, use of ovals vs. vertical and horizontal lines, and texture. A.M. Cassandre was born Adolphe Jean Edouard Mouron and studied at the Ecoles des Beaux Arts in Paris.His poster works celebrate architectonic structure and the machine. His attraction and use of the steamboat and locomotive elements were close to embracing the poetic spirit of friend Le Corbusier. Close inspection of his works reveal a knowledge of the Purist principles and the use of grid structures. He also designed the famous YVSL logo I can says he stood true to his visual language throughout his career and he will always be an important influence on my work.
