Afterimage (Twilight At Villa Cimbrone). A memory of marvelous days spent on the Amalfi Coast. The overall darkness of the painting and the way it contrasts with the stark, "overexposed" whiteness of the statue is meant to convey the picture's distorted backward-looking sensibility, as if the recollection of that sculpture poised against the sheer vastness of sky and sea was a dazzling but all too evanescent visual "impression" seen in the dark chamber of one's closed eyes.
