Last week’s discussion on color and how we detect it really interested me. I was especially interested on the artistic side of color since I am especially drawn to artwork that contains really vibrant colors. Professor Conway’s discussion of Matisse and his use of white spaces to maintain the integrity of the colors that he used to paint with.
This brought me to the artwork of Keith Haring who used extremely vibrant colors in his works. Haring began his art career as a street artist and used bold colors and sharp eye to call attention to his works. I felt that his works were especially relevant to last week’s class due to his usage of bold black lines that serve to separate and highlight the colors he uses in his works, much like Matisse’s use of white space to preserve color integrity.
I looked at Keith Haring’s art work and was found it interesting how the black lines have similar impact as the white blank spaces which allows to make the colors more visible!
