When Braque saw Picasso’s first Cubist painting “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” in his studio, he had a reaction that could be defined as transcendent or closely mystical in its effect. He didn’t not know how to mentally process the extreme novelty of the artwork, so overwhelmed was he by the paradigm smashing nature the painting represented. From this, it sparked Braque’s instinctual awareness of “Cubist thought” and thus he too joined as the other primary vanguard of Cubist painting with Picasso.
I wrote this here to remind myself that upon reading this account in the Taschen book, Modern Art it made me recall the Canary Islands ‘76 mass UFO sighting. And other sightings in that the observers and sometimes participants have a reaction similar to that of Bracque upon viewing Picasso’s first Cubist-style painting. Is it really so different? Bracque was unable to process it mentally at first, so alien were the mechanics, visual and symbolic constructions of the painting. But afterward, Bracque came to understand the dynamics of Cubism and began forging ahead into this new form of art to become one of its founders alongside Picasso.
It is a similar effect documented with percipients of the UFO experience. Theirs is a reaction of astonished confusion and existential discordance initially as they try to process the unreality of the experience that now presents itself as real. In many, many cases, afterward the subjects become more inquisitive, spiritually inclined, personality changes manifest, in some cases increase in intelligence and creativity manifests, some become standard bearers of the UFO investigative and research effort (think J. Vallee who saw a ufo in France as a child). The aftereffects on people are profound. This to me, is where we will likely find the ability to define the true nature of the phenomenon.
