When a viewer suggested that one of Adams' photographs looked abstract, Adams corrected him- "I prefer the term 'extract' over 'abstract', since I cannot change the optical realities but only manage them."

Using blocks of layered geometric tone and color, feininger creates the illution that the image is receding the backward, with the idea that the tone and color create light in the background, using semi-transparent layers this creates a different intensity of color, which gives this illusion.
