Mechanical pencil on paper
"In ordinary life, only a part of the whole scene presented to our eyes is seen distinctly, the peripheral parts are seen more or less vaguely. But in looking at a picture, practically the whole scene is seen, as a rule, by the central portions of the retina. What surrounds this scene must be imagined. To further and not interfere with this imagination should be the most important consideration in selecting a picture frame."
-Max Meyer, The Psychological Bulletin Vol. IV. No. 11 (Nov. 15, 1907)
This was a key transitional piece back in the day. Somewhere along the way, the halo became as important as the figure inside it. Somewhere later along the way, I decided the next piece could happily be the background alone and set the man in the middle free to go about his business.
