Color is a power which directly influences the soul.
Interpretation
Color profoundly impacts our emotions and perceptions.
Wassily Kandinsky emphasizes the profound role that color plays in our lives, suggesting that it is not merely a visual element but a powerful force that can evoke deep emotional responses and influence our inner states. This perspective aligns with the understanding that colors can shape our feelings and experiences, affecting our mood and creativity.
In practice
In a presentation about the effects of color in design, this quote illustrates the significance of color choices.
The true work of art is born from the 'artist': a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation. It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being.
The artist must have something to say, for mastery over form is not his goal but rather the adapting of form to its inner meaning.
With cold eyes and indifferent mind the spectators regard the work. Connoissers admire the "skill" (as one admires a tightrope walker), enjoy the "quality of painting" (as one enjoys a pasty). But hungry souls go hungry away. The vulgar herd stroll through the rooms and pronounce the pictures "nice" or "splendid." Those who could speak have said nothing, those who could hear have heard nothing.
The sound of colors is so definite that it would be hard to find anyone who would express bright yellow with bass notes or dark lake with treble.
The more abstract is form, the more clear and direct its appeal.
All methods are sacred if they are internally necessary. All methods are sins if they are not justified by internal necessity.
Architecture is about public space held by buildings.
Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.
I often feel like a nutty professor, like I'm going to try this experiment and see if it works. My hypothesis is, people in the West can absorb African women stories without any shaken or stirred mixer. It can come directly from the source.
The creative act amazes me. Whether it's poetry, whether it's music, it's an amazing process, and it has something to do with bringing forth the old out into the world to create and to bring forth that which will rejuvenate.
Labels need to work with artists to help them achieve their best work, not to jam records out that are half-baked or three-quarters baked.
Film spectators are quiet vampires.
