Quotes by Charles Alphonse du Fresnoy - (1 quote)

Charles Alphonse du Fresnoy - From the Values category:

White when it shines with unstain'd lustre clear, / May bear an object back or bring it near: / Aided by black, it to the front aspires; / That aid withdrawn, it instantly retires: / But black unmix'd, of darkest midnight hue, / Still calls each object nearer to the view. (Charles Alphonse du Fresnoy)
