Specialist note

"The horizon, is the line separating the higher and lower worlds, with man occupying the position in between. Through its simplicity, it evokes an awareness of the divine. A few deceptive brushstrokes are enough to divide the canvas. The search for the minimal form that this process implies may be construed as a search for the essence of the truth"
