Â?For EitelÂ?s pictures donÂ?t depict the more beautiful world, but the lively ability of one color to correspond with its neighboring color. And they testify to the paradoxes of today: including through the fact that, as EitelÂ?s momentary spiritual helms-men, the Dutchman Piet Mondrian and the Romantic Caspar David Friedrich are present. You canÂ?t swing the rake any wider. Indeed Mondrian and Friedrich also embody the rift in art history in relation to the viewable and non-viewable; what the eyes can see and that which lies on the other side of visibility.Â? Â?
