Nassos Daphnis, Color and Form: a Retrospective, exhibition catalogue, Boca Raton Museum of Art / The Butler Institute of American Art, Boca Raton / Youngston, 1993, p. 90 (discussed).
In his catalogue essay for Daphnis's 1993 retrospective, Professor Louis Zona noted: 'The success of H-7-83 is drawn from the simple grace of balanced red and blue arcs subtly cradling a central band of yellow lines. Ethereal in nature, the painting's widely spaced lineal elements permit the pervasive power of the white canvas to tint and effectively soften all colour content.'
