'"It has no title, and you can make what you wish of it."
In the New Yorker story, Beskow was quoted as saying: "My fresco contained no intentional symbols, though I've heard people say that the black-and-pale-blue circle in the upper middle section of the panel stands for the cosmos. All that I seriously sought to do was to open up the wall, in order to let the eye travel farther, and to open up the mind, provoking meditation but not directing it."
he admittedly sought to create a specific subjective effect in the mind of the spectator
