When doing these quand memes, it's the landscape of the light and dark regions, which interest me most. I don't need to get caught up in the deatails, until I can see it large and from a distance, in order to see the landscape(s) created with the light and dark regions. The interplay between them.
Afterwards, I can detail the images in accordance perhaps, with the landscapes created.
I'm considering the case of l'odalisque. I should defitenly look at the image on the whole computer screen to catch some of this.
This interplay is also represented well with 'when the night taper burns'. It also brings new meaning to this piece. Consider the girl is an artist and this vision, either brought on mythologically by this shadow, or represented a concretizing of her imaginights, when she is in this state of dream, or focus, or the zone, or something, wherein ideas come from, or some place.
'while the night taper burns' has many meanings. the interplay she experiences, but he watches her, unaware of that which she sees in her mind.
Looking at these versions of the quand meme, should be a slow diving into the piece, first perceiving it as an abstraction then as a narrative which forms from the abstraction.
So again, it should be viewed large, as well as close. The auto-contrast is good, and brings out things that I'm not perceiving.
