The Metrobolist

In 1961 a teenage schoolboy working on art homework paints a picture On the Theme of Light and Dark as the teacher instructs.

The passing of the child’s grandfather at the same time suggests painting on the theme of life and death.

A sun hides behind clouds or is it a moon with no shine.

Yellow light appears from doors and windows in an ancient ruin.

The light is artificial.

An artist entitles his picture The Metrobolist.
