The
true color of life is the color of the body, the
color of the covered red, the implicit and not
explicit red of the living heart and the pulses. It
is the modest color of the unpublished blood.
-- Alice Meynell
1847-1922, British
Poet, Essayist
Color
is my day-long obsession, joy and torment. To such
an extent indeed that one day, finding myself at the
deathbed of a woman who had been and still was very
dear to me, I caught myself in the act of focusing
on her temples and automatically analyzing the
succession of appropriately graded colors which
death was imposing on her motionless face.
-- Claude Monet
Colors, like features, follow the changes of the
emotions.
-- Pablo Picasso
1881-1973, Spanish
Artist
Why do
two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one
really explain this? no. Just as one can never learn
how to paint.
-- Pablo Picasso
1881-1973, Spanish
Artist

Painting is
something that takes place among the colors, and one has to
leave them alone completely, so that they can settle the
matter among themselves. Their intercourse: this is the
whole of painting. Whoever meddles, arranges, injects his
human deliberation, his wit, his advocacy, his intellectual
agility in any way, is already disturbing and clouding their
activity.
-- Rainer Maria Rilke
1875-1926, German Poet
Of all God's
gifts to the sighted man, color is holiest, the most divine,
the most solemn.
-- John Ruskin
1819-1900, British Critic,
Social Theorist
The purest and
most thoughtful minds are those which love color the most.
-- John Ruskin
1819-1900, British Critic,
Social Theorist
Colors answer
feeling in man; shapes answer thought; and motion answers
will.
-- John Sterling
