...only of his procedure but sometimes of his scale: the expanse of paper or canvas being imagined as a field of any dimension up to, and possibly including, infinity. It is Perambulator Klee's frequent achievement not only to imagine such a field for himself but to open it up somehow to the spectator.

Some theorists have suggested that the universe may not be spherical but hyperbolic-closed at one end, open at the other. The erection of Caltech's 200-inch telescope in California may possibly settle the question...
