As there are art historians  on this list, I would like to beg everyone's indulgence for a moment and ask a non-cinematic question, although it just might be philosophical:

For a long time, I have thought that Kandinsky wrote in Concerning the Spiritual in Art about "the tragic nature of orange." As I re-read it now, I am not finding this quote anywhere.

 

 Did he indeed write this ? And, if he did, just what is meant by it ?

 Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
