In conversation with art patron Agnes Gund, in response to “Why use bright color?”, Ellsworth Kelly replied:
I want some joy in what I do.
I can dig that!
Thinking of color: Color can release the weight of any sentiment. A spectrum of color supports a spectrum of feelings. Neighboring color reactions depend on things like value, size, placement…the viewer’s eye. Bright mixed dark pale solid tinted bold dull pulsing heavy light. You got it.
Words…Color words
Color poems, stories
Color confessions, wishes, lies, fairy tales, newspaper headlines…Yikes!
Color pulse Color time tick tock
I feel that the English word color needs another syllable. Ends with a thud. No?
How about Italian: Colore. 3 syllables. Last syllable, -re, the sound lingers…
