Some have insisted that sculptures should be colorless ; while others have sung the praise of color with ardour. A view of real sculptures will readily reveal that in some cases a color treatment seems quite appropriate, while in others the reverse is surpassing. Therefore, it is meaningless to draw a conclusion unless the matter is well analized. There should be no objection to imagining an original or genuine sculpture in order to compare it with others for the effect of achromatism. I wish here to express my views on the subject and trace the course that may lead to the true effect of achromatism in sculpture.
