The prototype shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Contrasts of the senses of sight and touch emphasise the expanse of this painting. The layers of approaching curves are closed in a tribute to misery.
``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.''
[Johannes Itten, The Art of Color]
