RE: Art Comment Contest: Purple

Purple is a good color, but I think it's underused in art. Almost all painters, I think, and this is my interpretation, are experimenting so much that they're trying to use fewer colors, fewer combinations. I wouldn't like to see the paintings invisible. Like the fable of the king in his invisible suit. We have hundreds of incredible color combinations. Why not use them? Well, no one has the absolute truth about anything, least of all art. You can die peacefully and your paintings will be worth a lot, five centuries later.

Purple is actually black and some red. Real black is rarely used simply because it's too much. I thought about the last times I used purple, most likely I made it myself. Blue and red or something, just some mix. Did I tell you my child had a purple room? I have a purple plaid and 2 purple cushions, big ones.

How about purple pelicans? Purple spots? Purple eye... the one a boxer hit?
