The following lines expressed by Kandinsky made me think about my 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.
