Luis Tomasello, "I Don't Do Anything - the Light Does it For Me: A Conversation with Francesca Bellini Joseph", Literal. Voces Latinoamericanas, Autumn 2009, p. 43, illustrated in color 

“The shape gives rise to the color, which is transformed from vision into sensation; it is projected into space, where it tints the atmosphere, and becomes iridescent on touching the plane. The movement is caused, not merely by the position of the viewer, but above all by the intensity and motion of the illumination. Sunlight – natural light, in other words – is ideal for appreciating the magical, infinite values of these plastic three-dimensional objects.” (Luis Tomasello, statement for Nouvelle tendance, 1964, cited in Serge Lemoine, Tomasello: Visible structure and reflected color, Miami 2012, p. 8)
