When the cube was consciously and prominently introduced into art it was so important that it became the foundation of all that has been done in the visual arts since.

Cubism was too pronounced a form for painting in its two dimensional space. When we look at the early paintings of cubist school we find a paradox.

The cube is a solid. In painting it becomes abstract. In sculpture we accept the cube; it has become concrete and consequently has been resolved and become tangible. 

The constant changes of our time both in science and socio-political struggle have shaken to the very foundation man's concepts and beliefs; sculpture in its concrete ideas is here as a confrontation to which mankind can hold and believe.
