Your eyes, accustomed to semi-darkness, will soon open to more radiant visions of light. The shadows which we shall paint shall be more luminous than the high-lights of our predecessors, and our pictures, next to those of the museums, will shine like blinding daylight, compared with deepest night. We conclude that painting cannot exist today without divisionism... [Paul Signac initiated divisionism slightly earlier, together with Seurat] - for the modern painter, must be an innate complementariness which we declare to be essential and necessary.
