A collector writes: We can finally appreciate all of its resources. For example, by isolating four motifs from the whole—an alternation of squares and rectangles—a dynamic takes shape which, when taken within the overall work, creates a fluttering that produces the optical effect. Moreover, when the painting is positioned at eye level, a lighter area appears, forming a square along the diagonal.
