Although I still
think of and refer to these (my) paintings, by their colours…the green one….the
yellow one….etc. I am not a colourist.
Not in the sense that Gauguin, Matisse, Howard Hodgkin are
colourists. A true colourist uses colour
as the main expressive element. So the
emotions, thought processes, of the viewer are suggested and manipulated by the
colour. Whether this gift (and I envy it as a gift) is inate or learned I don’t
know….but there does seem to be a common factor with many such artists….that
they experienced colour as an important element in their early life.
