The great late modernists (Cezanne, Klee, Ernst, etc.) wanted to break out from this well arranged and well interpretated world, the prison of supposed possessing of truth. The free-in-himself man, the man making himself as the center, has re-presented the world for himself in the monoperspective of this all-self-reference. As worded by Florenszkij:

"Artistic truth has once and forever disappeared from Western religious painting - the process starting from the Renaissance -, and though the painters declared their closeness and fidelity to depicted reality, in fact that had nothing common with the true reality whose depiction they took the liberty of, or formed a right to."

(Florenszkij - The Iconostas, Corvina, 1988, p. 30).
