what about the "night vision" painting. if it's pitch black and someone has the ability to see a vase, and then remembers the vase and paints the vase green in another room brightly lit...
well, they wouldn't paint a pitch black canvas and claim they can see a vase in that painting.
if el greco had some kind of condition that made him see elongated figures at thirty feet away, would a small normally proportioned figure drawing two feet away really look elongated also?
- Schiphol 12y agoThe night vision painting recovers quite a bit of the visual experiences: how shapes are arranged in space, for example. What is recovered in the multicolor eucalyptus from the tetrachromat's visual experience? El Greco usually paints figures close by. Portraits, mostly. Your question does not apply to his most famous paintings, I don't think.
