For Singier visual experience is the springboard for his inspiration, but in the subsequent elaboration forms are transmuted and take on a life of their own. It is evident from his pictures that Singier has taken to heart the lesson of the Cubists. By breaking up and reordering space he achieves a new perspective dimension capable of synthesizing the successive moments of perception and narration. In the resulting simultaneity, objects lose their recognizable aspects and gain thereby a new emotional impact. less
