“How pretentious! To paint colour!
To consider colour as an entity in itself, disconnected from its function of representation or as a complement to form.
So, fumbling around, I experimented with colour: with lines of colour that tinted the white background; with the retinal phenomenon; with peripheral vision and, above all, with a range of fourteen colours starting with yellow, passing through green, blue, violet, red, orange and back to yellow. Such a range is in itself a splendour, a piece of the rainbow come down from the sky".
