ANGEL ZARRAGA ... just leapt off the page, so to speak ... can't think why i hadn't noticed him until now ...

 “I believe it is not difficult to convince anyone of the expressive power of color. Without a doubt, each color has its greatest virtue of expression or emotive power when it contrasts or harmonizes with another. Nevertheless, between white which reflects the sun’s rays and black which absorbs them, each color has its own accent and emits tranquility the closer it is to white, and melancholy the closer it comes to black.

Yellow is the color closest to the sun’s rays...it is the color of spectacles, of the most precious metals…

Red is situated between the joy of bright colors and the tranquility of somber ones; it expresses dignity, pomp and circumstance. It is potent and terrible in judicial robes; prideful in military uniforms…

Blue is the color that rises and falls most in the tonal spectrum; it runs from barely perceptible white to a profoundness that nearly reaches darkest black; it is the color of poets, immaterial, celestial. When it is bright it speaks of purity, ethereality; when dark, it contains the imminent melancholy of evening.”

 
Angel Zárraga, 1906
