Color
With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.
Marc Chagall
Color is vibration like music; everything is vibration.
Marc Chagall

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.

All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites.
Marc Chagall
Colors produce a corresponding spiritual vibration, and it is only as a step towards this spiritual vibration that the elementary physical impression is of importance.
Wassily Kandinsky
Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
Color provokes a psychic vibration. Color hides a power still unknown but real, which acts on every part of the human body.
Wassily Kandinsky
I applied streaks and blobs of colors onto the canvas with a palette knife, and I made them sing with all the intensity I could...

Color is a power which directly influences the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
I have always wanted my colors to sing.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way… things I had no words for.

Color the invisible.
Cosmin Voisan
With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.
Henri Matisse
In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.
Henri Matisse
It is with color that you render light, though you must also feel this light, have it within yourself.
Henri Matisse
Purer colors... have in themselves, independently of the objects they serve to express, a significant action on the feelings of those who look at them.
Henri Matisse
Color helps to express light, not the physical phenomenon, but the only light that really exists, that in the artist's brain.
Henri Matisse
Color is crucial in painting, but it is very hard to talk about. There is almost nothing you can say that holds up as a generalization, because it depends on too many factors: size, modulation, the rest of the field, a certain consistency that color has with forms, and the statement you're trying to make.
Roy Lichtenstein
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Piet Mondrian
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
Paul Cezanne
There is a logic of colors, and it is with this alone, and not with the logic of the brain, that the painter should conform.
Paul Cezanne
There is no model; there is only color.
Paul Cezanne
Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? No.

I want to know one thing, what is color?
Pablo Picasso
If you are moved only by the color relationships, then you miss the point.

If light is the spiritual quality of painting, color is surely its heart and passion.
Robert Reynolds
The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color.

Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.

Colors are brighter when the mind is open.

Color is sensitivity in material form, substance in its purest form.

I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.
Joan Miro
Color is fun, color is just plain gorgeous, a gourmet meal for the eye, the window of the soul.
Rachel Wolf
Like emotions, colors are a reflection of life.
Janice Glennaway
Color and sound, twin aspects of spirit interwoven in the language of life, are healing forces of the soul.
Elle Nicolai
Learn to reach for colors instinctively, not automatically. Instinctively implies knowledge, sensitivity and perception. Automatically implies a mechanical reaction and a process that's akin to a formula.
Robert Wade
There are times when we need certain colors. They nourish the soul in a way nothing else does.
Catherine Jo Morgan
I paint with colors that feed my soul.
Catherine Jo Morgan
All the other colors are just colors, but purple seems to have a soul. Purple is not just a noun and an adjective but also a verb, when you look at it, it's looking back at you.
Uniek Swain
We never really perceive what color is physically.
Josef Albers
Every perception of color is an illusion, we do not see colors as they really are. In our perception they alter one another.

I want color and form to have contradictorily functions.
Joseph Albers

Black is like the silence of the body after death, the close of life.

This may sound a bit simple, but the rainbow was my teaching source about mixing color.

Who ever heard of a musician who was passionately fond of B flat? Color is like music. The palette is an instrument that can be orchestrated to build form.
John Sloan
Color is the language of the poets. It is astonishingly lovely. To speak it is a privilege.
Keith Crown
Color creates energy, energy creates inspiration and inspiration creates change.
