First sketch for Corona Borealis, May 2011.

These three 'observing' functions come together in a point exterior to the picture:that is, an ideal point in relation to what is represented but a perfectly real one too, since it is also the starting-point that makes the representation possible. “ (14-15)

1966

“for in it occurs an exact superimposition of the model's gaze as it is being painted, of the spectator's as he contemplates the painting, and of the painter's as he is composing his picture
