Watercolour, crayon and CP

This isn’t just the view from Jesus St. If you have a look at this link in GoogleStreetview,
, you might notice that the blue ‘Church of Mercy’ to the left of the centre of
the painting, and the building under construction to the right are actually
facing out to sea. The viewpoints I used to paint them were from the street directly
in front of each.
Pablo Picasso and Georges Bracque evolved
the technique of adding more information to an image through simultaneous
multiple viewpoints… of course they went at it with considerable more vigour
(and genius) than this tentative start.
Their brilliantly reassembled multi-faceted
images defined the beginnings of Cubism. The introduction of this concept
of multi-dimensionality in art was remarkably coincident with Einstein's theory
of the relativity of time, space, and motion… but Einstein and thousands of quantum
physicists and mathematicians since have been unable to formulate a Unified
Field Theory, harmonizing gravity and the other three fundamental forces. Is this because most people, including most
geniuses, cannot visualize more than the usual four space-time dimensions?
