“What I have to do is utilize as best I can the ideas which objects suggest to me, connect, fuse, and color in my way the shadows they cast within me, illumine them from the inside. And since of necessity my vision is quite different from that of the next man, my painting will interpret things in an entirely different manner even though it makes use of the same elements.” MenWayI CanIdeasDifferentUseNextVisionObjectsColorPaintingElementsShadowCastsMy WayOriginalityFuse Author:Pablo Picasso
“Nature, the sun itself, produces color effects... instantaneously. The impression of these evanescent visions is what we make desperate attempts to catch and fix by any means at hand.

“Madonna has a far profounder vision of sex than do the feminists. She sees both the animality and the artifice. Changing her costume style and hair color virtually every month, Madonna embodies the eternal values of beauty and pleasure. Feminism says, 'No more masks.' Madonna says we are nothing but masks. Through her enormous impact on young women around the world, Madonna is the future of feminism.” WorldYoungValuesSexPleasureVisionFeminismStyleColorHairMonthsEternalImpactFeministEnormousAround The WorldMaskYoung WomenCostumesArtifice Author:Camille Paglia
“The sex that is presented to us in everyday culture feels strange to me; its images are fragments, lifeless, removed from normal experience.

“The gross elements are earth, water, air and fire, with the fifth being space. Each particle of the body is made up of these five elements, which are manifested in different colors.

“I've often been a little concerned by people who say they are color-blind, people who claim, in some ways, not to be aware of race, and I hope that those who will be looking for a vision of the future will be a little more honest, and say race actually does matter.” PeopleWayLittlesDoeMatterRaceVisionHonestColorConcernedClaimsBlindVisions Of The FutureBlind People Author:Desmond Tutu

“So [Polaroid's Dr. Edwin] Land, at 75, went off to spend the remainder of his life doing pure science, trying to crack the code of color vision. The man is a national treasure.

“I realized early on that artifice attracted me to an image more than any other quality - I mean artifice in the sense of staging and heightened color and exaggerated lighting, not a surreal or fictive moment...

“My favorite part about costume designing is the artistry of the job. You meet with a director and a visionary to discuss ideas. You research the characters and figure out the components of their look through your own vision. You create a color palette for a film, television or stage medium and discuss it with the director of photography who then lights your colored subjects.” LooksIdeasCharacterLightJobsFilmVisionSubjectsStageFiguresDesignTelevisionColorDirectorsPhotographyResearchMy FavoriteMediumsCostumesComponentsVisionariesArtistryPalette Author:Ruth E.

“Utopians don't say, 'The world's corrupt, women make less money, people of color are oppressed at every turn.' You don't list the problems of the world; you describe a world in which those things aren't the case. The critique is implicit and as a result it's kind of a positive critique. You're not listing what's bad, but rather what would be good - you're oriented toward this positive vision.” PeopleWorldKindProblemWould BeTurnsResultsVisionCasesColorBe GoodListsOppressedCritiqueImplicit Author:Christine Jennings
“In arriving at the relevant theory about the specifics of our faculty of vision we will presumably use our eyes to gather relevant data. Based on such data we come to know about the optic nerve, the structure of our eyes, the rods and cones, etc., so as to explain how it is that vision gives us reliable access to the shapes and colors of objects around us. In reliably arriving at that theory we thus exercise the very faculty whose reliability is explained by the theory. There is no vice in this sort of circularity.” KnowsGivingUseEyeVisionObjectsColorTheoryExerciseShapesStructureVicesAccessDataEtcFacultyNervesRelevantArrivingReliabilityConesSpecificsCircularity Author:Ernest Sosa
“A third or more of the brain is devoted to visual processing, not true of any other sense. We have color vision and it is truly binocular.

“'The Night Cafe' and 'The Starry Night' still emit such pathos, density, and intensity that they send shivers down the spine.
