Marcel Duchamp, "Tu 'm", 1918
Gerhard Richter, "Ten Large Colour Panels", 1966-1971/72
Taking a departure from the usual format of focusing on artists, this post will highlight a recent exhibition at MoMA, New York, which looked at how colours became "despirtualised" in the mid of the last century as a result of the ubiquity of colours in all manner of commercial settings. In particular, how artists used and viewed colours is also being teased out in sometimes surprising and unexpectedways.
There are also some audio and video tracks on iTunesU or just the audio tracks here.
Go to online exhibition.
Also see a recent article in Wired on the difference in the perception of colours in an adult and in an infant.
