Colour Compositions

The secret of artistic color compositions could also be called the alchemy of fine art.

Color theory is based on only three basic, scientifically describable properties of color. Every work of art, it is assumed, must necessarily be describable by and traceable to these color properties.

How, then, is it possible for some color compositions to achieve such an artful effect?
Color is described by hue with color temperature, color value and its degree of saturation. The viewer associates warm colors like red, orange and yellow with the light of summer and open fires. Cold colors such as blue and green are associated with the coldness of ice, snow, the sky, or water. The value of the color determines its relative position on a color scale from black to white. Color saturation is used to describe the purity and intensity of the color.

Color compositions of high artistic quality succeed in bringing these properties of color into an energetic, harmonious balance that is both dynamic and stable. They create a harmonious combination of these three color properties and make the observer the resting center in which the actual action takes place - the sensually moving perceptual experience.

Since the scientific color theories of Isaac Newton (1665) and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1810), visual artists have repeatedly developed their own color theories. Wassily Kandinsky described the effect of color in contrasts, through whose interplay an exciting dynamic is created. Paul Klee was concerned with how forms, lines and the "moving point" influence the experience of colour. The result of this mental preliminary work and analysis are immediately tangible masterpieces such as Paul Klee's "Spatial Architectures" of 1915, "Mountain Village" of 1934 or Kandinsky's "Compositions". Modern artists such as Alex Caminker and Lou Gibbs are color composers in the tradition of these masters.
