Green, Black and Magenta

Fresh green. Shiny black. Pulsating magenta. Side by side they have been slinking in and out of my visual memory. I’ve met this trio before in Matisse’s paper cut-outs and his Moroccan paintings. A Chagall collage of a dancing figure on a magenta stage and his painting of a poet lying on a grassy expanse under a magenta evening sky sparked a strong applause within me for these compatriots. Green is life and energy. Black holds the keys. And magenta plays – plays a variety of roles depending… Together they are so present, so touchable, so vibrant. A dash of lemony yellow would add a glow of satisfaction.
