The mutual influence of form and color is clear. A yellow triangle, a blue circle, a green square or a green triangle, a yellow circle etc ...



The following lines expressed by Kandinsky made me think about above painting 'yellow pink and blue':..."The eye is strongly attracted by light, clear colors, and still more strongly attracted by those colors which are warm as well as clear... Keen lemon-yellow hurst the eye in time as a prolonged and shrill trumpet note the ear, and the gaver turns away to seek relief in blue and green. ... Yellow if steadily gazed at any geometrical form, has a disturbing influence, and reveals in the color an insistent, aggressive character.". Looking at my painting, the eye is invited and rests on the pink-red left hand side, disturbed and chocked by the lemon-yellow centre which overwhelms the whole painting partly due the large surface it covers, and finally obtains releif in the deep dark blue on the right.
