VII. Jeune Fille: In another case the color is used exclusively like opaque medium. Thus, the greatest precautions are necessary when a method of logical procedure must be developed. It is not permitted to let two tones that present any kind of affinity to be next to each other. In this manner the nature of the subject allows itself to become enveloping, with a clarity of intention that compensates for all original uncertainty. The inevitable consequence is a projection into space itself…an equivalent for light.
Man Ray
New York, 1916–17
