Excerpt from Light: Fine Art the Sixth, Vol. 13: A Running Nomenclature to Underly the Use of Light as a Fine Art Sheerness of beauty, that 18 a labor which can be done only by the artist. To make light mobile to music, to put it in sympathetic union with any other art, static or of succession, to give it speech of itself, is as difficult to do for one Whose lifelong training has not been that of artist as it would be for a musician to alter the com position of a light, or for an illuminating engineer to play a piano concerto with orchestra. I have devoted a lifelong labor to music, and there is nothing of importance I have ever done, outside of being a mother and taking a charitable interest in the status of womankind as a whole, that has not been connected, intimately connected with this art. And it is on this standpoint: on the footing of that 'which only a musician, only an artist could have arrived at, that I feel justified in having encroached, if only with envious eyes, on'a field belong ing, by every right, only to you. Atmosphere - light, pure and simple - was always a part of the idea; never the flat, never the two dimensional. It must be so. The flat carries with it form, no matter how vague and transitory the succession, and that is the picture. The province of light is that of an all-enveloping medium which does not interfere with forms or interject shapes not already in existence. In what. Way does it obtrude itself on our attention then?
