One view of the technique of this man might summarize it thus: fastidiousness in choice of subject, the picture well within the frame, low relief, a Velasquez study of tones and a Japanese study of spaces.
Let us, dear and patient reader, particularly dwell upon the spacing.

A Whistler, or a good Japanese print, might be described as a kaleidoscope suddenly arrested and transfixed at the moment of most exquisite relations in the pieces of glass.

An Intimate Play of a kindred sort would start to turning the kaleidoscope again, losing fine relations only to gain those which are more exquisite and novel.

All motion pictures might be characterized as _space measured without sound, plus time measured without sound_.

This description fits in a special way the delicate form of the Intimate Motion Picture, and there can be studied out, free from irrelevant issues.
As to _space measured without sound_.
