Seeing Red

Published on by Laura Bloomsbury23 Comments

There is so much more to ‘red’ than meets the eye. Just look around! So for Debbi’s challenge I am offering a bit more than just the one word Sunday: Red

“If one could only catch that true color of nature – the very thought of it drives me mad.” – Andrew Wyeth
“The more an object is polished or brilliant, the less you see its own color and the more it becomes a mirror reflecting the color of its surroundings.” – Eugene Delacroix :
“If one says ‘red’ – the name of color – and there are fifty people listening, it can be expected that there will be fifty reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different.” – Josef Albers
“In nature, light creates the color. In the picture, color creates the light.” – Hans Hofmann
Everything that you can see in the world around you presents itself to your eyes only as an arrangement of patches of different colors.” – John Ruskin
