An important work/discovery by the great artist; a palette both tender and bright, color values and bright highlights structure the painting surface. The intense juxtaposition of cool and warm colors organizes the artist’s space into his own fairy-tale reality achieving an exceptional poetic interpretation of space. He privileges harmonious relationships between the volumes freeing the composition.  He does not yield on the quest for the rhythm of chromatic and formal values until the essential and his truth are both captured for the viewer.
