definitions care take-care
I am very much afraid of definitions, and yet one is almost forced to make them. One must take care, too, not to be inhibited by them.
action
This synchronous action then will be the Subject, which is the representative harmony.
movement vital
The idea of the vital movement of the world and its movement is simultaneity.

The word "art" means harmony for me. I never speak of mathematics and never bother with the Spirit. My only science is the choice of impressions that the light in the universe furnishes to my consciousness as an artisan which I try, by imposing an Order, and Art, an appropriate representative life, to organize...
believe color movement
First of all, I always see the sun! The way I want to identify myself and others is with halos here and there halos, movements of color. And that, I believe, is rhythm.

art relate ifs

reality vision contemplation
Human vision is endowed with the greatest Reality, since it comes to us directly from the contemplation of the Universe.
painting
Nature engenders the science of painting
light movement visuals

perception world vastness

light painting birth
Impressionism; it is the birth of Light in painting.
men light color
Simultaneity in light is harmony, the rhythm of colors which creates the Vision of Man.
