Doubt

When reading this, I think of cubism. His description of art and novelty and how we see things resonates with the primary focus of the Cubism movement. We can only imagine what looking at an early cubist painting would be like for an art enthusiast in the early 20th century. The paintings were a distorted rearranged representation of the world. This movement did exactly what he describes, "It is in the creation of disjuncture between the thing and its representation that we come to see the thing and its relation to other things anew"
