“Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea.

Perhaps it would be as well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again.”
