[David Casseres]

Contra-jour: art history term. literally means 'against the day'. It's
usually applied to the figures who appear with their back to the
viewer in the German Romantic landscapist Caspar David Friedrich's
paintings. The impression given is an unity between the viewer and the
figure in the painting looking out to the same scenery.
