QUOTES
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

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

I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.
Joan Miro

My choice of colors does not rest on any scientific theory; it is based on observation, on feeling, on the experience of my sensibility. Inspired by certain pages of Delacroix, an artist like Signac is preoccupied with complementary colors, and the theoretical knowledge of them will lead him to use a certain tone in a certain place. But I simply try to put down colors which render my sensation.
Henri Matisse

Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Claude Monet
