CHIARASCURO is a rather difficult word much used in highbrow art circles. Simply defined it means the play of contrast of light and shade in a picture. The glint of the sun on rippling water; the shadows of the leaves beneath the trees; the lights in baby's frank open eyes. These are all difficult subjects, often spoiled by snap anaemia, which reduces the "chiarascuro" to veiled obscurity. Let Agfa Isochrom Film strip off that veil, :and make your; snaps full of intriguing light and shade.
