Take Picasso's famous bull: a series of engravings in which, step by step, the bull is stripped of muscles, shadows and volume until only a few lines remain.
Picasso was not born 'modern'. He was born academic to the core.
Only those who know form can afford to deform it without lying.
If you look at Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, Picasso makes a violent gesture:
