In 1896, Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) sees Monet’s “Haystacks” in a touring exhibition in St. Petersburg. Monet’s paintings have a great impact on Kandinsky’s artistic development towards abstraction. According to Kandinsky: “The painting showed itself to me in all its fantasy and all its enchantment. Deep within me the first doubt arose about the importance of the object as a necessary element in a picture.” Instead of referring to the outer world, Kandinsky’s objects ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/fh.html · 8.7k |

Last Sunday I had a visit from Theo and his family; I find it very pleasant to be less far away from them. These days I am working a good deal and quickly ; by doing this I seek to find an expression for the desperately swift passage of things in modern life. Yesterday in the rain I painted a large landscape, showing fields as far as one can see, looked at from a height, different kinds of green growth, a potato field of a somber green, between the regular beds the rich violet earth, on one side a field of peas in white bloom, then a field of clover with ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/21/W23.htm · 16.0k |

Born in Holland in 1878, Piet Mondrian painted traditional subjects in an increasingly abstract style. By 1920, he adopts a totally abstract motif, employing an irregular checkerboard drawn with black lines, and with the spaces paints mostly white or sometimes in the primary colors of blue, red and yellow. This is typical of about 250 abstract paintings dating from 1917 to 1944. Mondrian named his style “neoplasticism,” his translation of his own Dutch phrase nieuwe beelding, which ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/mondrian2.html · 9.1k |

A ray of light is divided into its constituent colors by the first prism (left), and the resulting bundle of colred rays is reconstituted into white light by the second. Our modern understanding of light and color begins with Isaac Newton (1642-1726) and a series of experiments that he publishes in 1672. He is the first to understand the rainbow — he refracts white light with a prism, resolving it into its component colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. In the late 1660s, Newton starts experimenting with his ’celebrated phenomenon of colors.’ At the time, people thought that color was a mixture of light and darkness ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/bh.html · 9.8k |

What happens in the eye? Calculating color font size: a a a Retinal Ganglion Cells Calculate Color The signals from the cones are sent through a network of other nerves. But the cones are just the beginning of the story. The eye, like any optical device, is not perfect. A point in outer space is not imaged onto the retina as a true point, but rather into a somewhat more diffuse area called a blur circle. Other chromatic aberrations cause colored fringes, and as people age, their lenses yellow considerably. In addition, the color of a light source can vary dramatically: a sunset and a fluorescent light have very different hues. Our eye has evolved to compensate for these many flaws. Our nerve cells compare the signals from the cones ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/ganglion.html · 7.8k |
