“Truly color is vice! Of course, it can be, and has the right to be one of the finest virtues. Controlled by the strong hand and careful guidance of her Master drawing, color is a splendid Mistress, with a mate worthy of herself, her lover, but her Master likewise, the most magnificent Mistress possible, and the result is evident in all the glorious things that spring from their union.” HandsCoursesStrongResultsVirtueColorMastersLoversSpringUnionsVicesCarefulWorthyDrawingGuidanceGloriousControlledMatesMagnificentFinestEvidentMistressSplendidStrong Hands Author:James Whistler
