Magician, 1994

---

It is always the same question in painting:
What form should which colour take,
which form is to be painted in what colour?
How are colour and form related, that is the question.

During the Renaissance, Piero de la Francesca painted Duke of
Urbino's profile. The Duke's red cap is perched in a rakish diagonal
and is rakishly red.
Much later, Kandinsky explains that the diagonal augments the energy
of red and red the energy of the diagonal.
He also says that acute angles are yellow, right angles are red
and obtuse angles are blue.
From the Cabbala, I gathered that the number 3 is most yellow,
5 most red and 8 most blue.
Goethe says that colour emerges in the range between black and
white and that every colour is more intense, the darker it is.
Based on these premises, I have combined COLOURicons as black
forms on a white background.

COLOURicons are the analogy of colour as form.
They can give colour structure or stand for themselves.
