Values in Cornelis de Vos rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Cornelis de Vos carry the compositional weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The most saturated colour, #976E4D, is reserved to 7.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 66 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Taken together, these qualities constitute Cornelis de Vos's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
