Spent a lovely afternoon wandering around Louisiana, admiring the courage and the vision of some wildly different artists – each focused on colour: nuances, relationships, interpretation. Interesting – the instant reaction to each piece, depending on how the colours had been set together.
Works spanned two centuries, and ranged from impressionists to spectacular light installations. Hardly a better way to spend a Saturday and definitely recommended. Make sure to check out Yoyoi Kusama’s “Gleaming Lights of the Souls” while you’re there.
“COLOUR in ART is a magnificent, visual journey of discovery into the inextricably close, but often stormy relationship between artists and colour in the twentieth century. It takes the viewer through an array of brilliant works by the greatest names in modern art.
COLOUR in ART includes each and every nuance. Here you experience the entire history and development of modern art, seen and told through colour. Comprising 150 works by 72 different artists, the exhibition explores how artists – from the late 1800s until today – have worked and experimented with taming and interpreting colour as a medium.”
