mescalin footnote

* Mescalin is a hallucinogen drug. Its users often go on 'trips' during their time on the drug where they see and hear things that aren't necessarily there. This is an example experience of a person on mescalin: "The cherry tree says it feels happy.
The cherry tree is radiating happiness like I have never seen before. I go
over to it and it starts going on and on about different things. I realize
that like with animals, the trees are much more hyper and talkative when
they are younger. I listened to the tree and talked to it for a long time.
When I walked away I felt the residual happiness of the tree for a very long
time.
(note, the next year the tree produced record amount of cherries)
I went and looked over the fence off unto the horizon.
He saw a little pixy house. It disappeared and reappeared. And disappeared
again.
The pixie house appeared and blinked out.. the reappeared for a long time.
It was in a state of temporal flux or something. Not completely in any
plane. An existence between planes, or maybe between realities not so much as
planes." http://www.clearwhitelight.org/hatter/mescalinetrips.htm (Accessed September 24,2009)

Cubism

Upon its inception around the 1907, Cubism did not immediately attract the following it deserved. An avant-garde artistic style born to fathers Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque it was an initialy neglected artform due to the impression inhereted by most artists of the time. Through its the introduction Cubism allowed artists to emphasize two-dimensionality in their art through geometric forms and fractured pieces of the subject being placed back together. It was commonly assumed during this period that art should be closely modeled to how things are viewed in nature. This assumption misrepresented the entire freedom art allows by allowing artists to create their pieces based on their own perspectives and perceptions of beauty. Picasso and Braque by understood the importance of maintaining the beauty of art through thought and newer and grander standards, created a new artistic style which sparked several other branches of Cubism into the artistic movement.
