Excerpt from Notes, Vol. 1: June 1922 Another aspect of the reaction was an abandon ment of the monotonous lighting of classicism for the so-called tene???roso manner, according to which the greater part of the canvas is plunged in deep shadow and patches of high light are sharply re lieved agalnst 1t.
