Tag: fugitive colors

Posted on April 29, 2013October 11, 2020

Van Gogh’s color palette was brighter than we assume

Van Gogh’s “The Bedroom”

These blue walls were violet, and in more of a harmonious complementary color scheme than what we see here. But fugitive reds faded away, leaving violet walls blue and pink flowers white! Gah!

And according to this article, he was more methodical, and less deranged than has been thought. That makes me happy.  🙂

Random Quote

Unlike music, there are no geniuses in painting. What people regard as premature genius is the genius of childhood.
