This pushed me to think about colour and the ways in which our
understandings and the way colour is thought did change considerably
around 1960 (which also coincided with publication of Ittens elements of
colour in 1961 which links back to the Bauhaus)
To flatten texture I have been painting objects for the still lifes
using student acrylics and the standard six primary colours (ie warm and
cool so you have warm red and cool red) and basically just for the fun
of mixing colours. However the feeling these colours have seemed to me
to be like graphic design colours (eg Pantone colours) more so then
painterly colours of oil on canvas. Pop art comes to mine or David
Hockney's use of acrylic.
I did a quick search and my suspicions seem correct so any
comments,leads welcome. (I also play around with mixing colours on a
computer screen)
