"He also sometimes goes off and loses himself in solitary places - the rugged hills of Italy, uninhabited stretches of coastline - and applies himself to capturing the shapes and colors of the earth and sky, the variations of light"(1).
The orange paper adds a rosy hue to the print, conveying the warm luminosity of twilight. This desert landscape reveals the atmosphere of Norway through its shapes, but above all, through its colors.
