“Sabi is the color of haikai. It is different from tranquility. For example, if an old man dresses up in armor and helmet and goes to the battlefield, or in colorful brocade kimono, attending (his lord) at a banquet, [sabi] is like this old figure.” IfsMenDifferentLordFiguresExampleColorDressesOld ManTranquilityBattlefieldsArmorColorfulAttendingHelmetBanquetsKimonos Author:Matsuo Basho

“Never, never do I set to work on a canvas in the state it comes in from the shop. I provoke accidents - a form, a splotch of color. Any accident is good enough. I let the matiere decide. Then I prepare a ground by, for example, wiping my brushes on the canvas. Letting fall some drops of turpentine on it would do just as well. If I want to make a drawing I crumple the sheet of paper or I wet it; the flowing water traces a line and this line may suggest what is to come next.” IfsWantWellsMayStatesEnoughFormFallNextWaterLinesExampleColorPaperAccidentsDrawingShopsGood EnoughWetCanvasProvokingBrushesSheetsFlowing Water Author:Joan Miro
“Words can mean different things to different people. It is important to understand what people mean when they use a certain word. Let's make an example. Take the word gay. Fifty years ago, gay meant exclusively cheerfulness, lighthearted excitement, merry or bright colors. Today this word has a different meaning. You won't call a cheerful person gay because it could be understood as something else.” PeopleYearsMeanPersonsImportantDifferentUseTodayCertainExampleColorGayUnderstoodYears AgoExcitementFiftyDifferent ThingsCheerfulDifferent PeoplesMerryCheerfulnessDifferent MeaningsBright Colors Author:Ali Sina
“My reason [for making my own paint] is to force a real-time experience of the work. Most work today is experienced by reproduction, and more specifically by computer screen, like jpegs, but an RGB simulation of fluorescent will never fully accurately depict some colors. For example, our eyes are a lot more sophisticated than you might assume. You can feel a lot more going on on the surface of a canvas than you can on the surface of a screen.” FeelsRealReasonMightEyeTodayForceMy OwnExampleColorComputerAssumingPaintSurfaceScreensSophisticatedCanvasReproductionSimulationComputer Screen Author:Ryan McGinness
“For example, I'm a great fan of pornography, but I don't see any reason not to restrict it so that people walking down the street who hate pornography don't have full color pictures outside of movie theaters.

“We live in a world that is dominated by science. And that's not a bad thing - not at all. But one of the problems with the scientific worldview is that it leads human beings to have an overwhelmingly theoretical relationship to the world. For example, I no longer accept my being in the world practically and then try to describe that or elucidate that; rather, I see the world theoretically as colors and objects and representations which are fed through my retina into the brain.” WorldTryingHumansProblemHuman BeingsBrainAcceptingExampleObjectsColorFedsBad ThingsRepresentationTheoreticalWorldview Author:Simon Critchley
“We have to remember examples of many artists of conscious rap who have been coopted by the Department of State of the United States to be cultural ambassadors in different parts of the world, like Syria, like other parts of the Middle East, including conscious Islamic-American rappers that are representing an international political agenda for the United States through cultures more affable for people of color in other parts of the world.” PeopleWorldHas BeensDifferentStatesRememberPoliticalArtistCultureUnitedUnited StatesMiddleExampleColorConsciousIncludingInternationalRapEastIslamicDepartmentAgendasRapperMiddle EastSyriaRepresentingAmbassadorsPolitical AgendasAffableConscious Rap Author:Bocafloja

“[Trump's worldview states] that, for example, women are incompetent as compared to men in business settings. That women in general are intellectually inferior and have to make up for that by using their sexuality to get ahead. That women of color are angry, irrational, lazy, and always ready to get into a fight for no reason. That men in the workplace can say incredibly racist and sexist things, and as long as they make more money than their competitors, the racist and sexist things they say and do are totally acceptable.” MenLongStatesReasonFightingExampleColorReadyTrumpAngrySexualitySettingSettingsLazyRacistNo ReasonAcceptableMore MoneyInferiorsIrrationalWorkplaceCompetitorsWorldviewIncompetentSexistGet Ahead Author:Jennifer Pozner
