"I made a copper plate with deep bites and carved the figures with machine tools. Then I laid aquatint all over the plate. With a sanding disc I polished the whole surface until all the forms emerged. This way the reflected forms were emphasized. The freshness and brilliance of the colors were due to the pointillist juxtaposition.”
