Shadow - Leonardo da Vinci

This quote was added by rashid0009
Shadow is the obstruction of light. Shadows appear to me to be of supreme importance in perspective, because, without them opaque and solid bodies will be ill defined; that which is contained within their outlines and their boundaries themselves will be ill-understood unless they are shown against a background of a different tone from themselves.

So also says Kabbalah., as I understand. The world is a dark one, too many shadows, but we all live in the time of shadows: which is the daylight.
