chiaroscuro
(it)
(noun, Italian for light and dark) an oil painting technique developed during the Renaissance that uses strong tonal contrasts between light and dark to model three-dimensional forms
“Suffering” replaces “experience,” and “find” replaces “know.” This terminological displacement produces a verbal chiaroscuro effect of alternating light and dark, beauty and terror.
