thoughts to ponder

"The most basic, primitive and necessary visual information
is found in luminance variations. The parts of our brains that
analyze a scene are colourblind."
(Margaret Livingstone)

Picasso noted that "Reality is to be found in
lightness and darkness."
But this comes from a painter who
rarely thought in terms of colour.
A shimmering orange sun
razzle-dazzling within an
equal-intensity grey-blue sky was not his style.
You could call this Picasso's handicap.
Many a fine
style has evolved from a decent handicap.
