Nocturno presents a play of monochromatic colour, tone and texture within a dark intriguing illustration. The artist was evidently influenced by cubist elements where the composition is broken down and presented in abstract forms and from multiple perspectives. Note how the composition, though uneven and precarious, is still harmonious to the eye. |
