The image shows a newspaper clipping titled "Drop Your Greens and Blues," which is an article about the topic of color in art. The article is dated November 5, 1974, as indicated by the handwritten date in the top right corner.
The article discusses the exhibit "Color in Art" at the Fogg Museum, which ran through June 16, and "Color Around Us" at the Museum of Science, which ran through December. It starts by questioning the definition of color, noting that it can be a complex and multifaceted concept.
The writer, Kathy Garrett, explores the idea of color as a psychological phenomenon, and delves into the historical context of color, mentioning artists like Edwin Land. She explains that color can be interpreted differently by people and that the perception of color can be influenced by various factors such as light and context.
Garrett also discusses an exhibit by Arthur Pope at Harvard, which included a catalog and an analysis of color in art. The exhibit was designed to explain how artists manipulate color to create different effects and meanings. It covers the aspects of hue, intensity, and value, and how they are used in art.
The article notes that Pope's exhibit is a valuable resource for understanding color in art, despite being somewhat dated. It also mentions that the exhibit is worth revisiting for its thorough exploration of color perception and manipulation, highlighting the importance of understanding hue, intensity, and value in art.
The article concludes with a brief mention of the complexity and multifaceted nature of color, emphasizing that it is more than just an optical illusion.
The image is a newspaper clipping from 1974, dated May 10, featuring an article titled "Drop Your Greens and Blues" by Kathy Garrett. The article is about an exhibit called "Color Around Us" at the Museum of Science and an exhibit titled "Color in Art" at the Fogg Museum.
The article discusses the psychological and visual complexities of color. It starts by defining color and how it affects people differently, using examples like the Tootsie Roll and Superman comics to illustrate how color can be perceived differently depending on context.
The article mentions an exhibit by Arthur Pope, a Harvard professor, who explored the use of color in art through a series of paintings. Pope's exhibit is structured around three dimensions: hue, intensity, and value. Hue refers to the shade (e.g., blue, green), intensity to how pure the hue is, and value to how light or dark it is.
The article also touches on Pope's explanations of how these elements interact and the challenges of explaining color perception to someone who is colorblind or lacks familiarity with color theory. It highlights Pope's use of diagrams and examples to illustrate his points and the ongoing struggle to define and teach these concepts effectively.
The clipping is from a page labeled "PAGE TWO" and the article is categorized under "ART." The article concludes with a quote from Kathy Garrett, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of color and the challenges of explaining it.
The image shows a page from a publication dated October 7, 1974, authored by Crimmins. The article is titled "Drop Your Greens and Blues" and discusses various exhibitions and concepts related to color in art.
Exhibitions:
Definition of Color:
The author starts by asking for a definition of color and receives varied responses, noting that color is often seen as a purely psychological phenomenon and not an inherent physical property. Edwin Land's experiments are mentioned, which suggest color perception involves complex brain processes rather than just retinal stimulation.
Museum Exhibits:
Fogg Museum's Exhibit "Color in Art":
Museum of Science's Exhibit "Color Around Us":
Critique of the Exhibits:
The author critiques the Fogg Museum's exhibit for being disorganized and failing to clearly explain how artists use color. The exhibit seems to lack a cohesive structure, making it difficult for viewers to understand the role and impact of color in art.
The Museum of Science's exhibit is praised for its interactive and educational approach but noted to be basic in its content, primarily aimed at younger audiences.
Jargon and Explanation:
The article criticizes the dense jargon used in the Fogg Museum's catalog, especially a 127-page section filled with complex terminology on color theory. The author mentions the difficulty in understanding terms like "Hue," "Intensity," and "Value" without clear definitions.
Final Thoughts:
The author concludes that both exhibits have their strengths and weaknesses. The Museum of Science's exhibit is more accessible and educational, while the Fogg Museum's exhibit, despite its depth, fails to effectively communicate its insights on color in art.
The page ends with a brief mention of the philosophical aspect of color, quoting B.C. Greek philosophers on the nature of color and space. The author is Kathy Garretty.
The image shows a newspaper clipping pinned onto a corkboard. The paper's background color is off-white, and there is a noticeable horizontal crease where the paper might have been folded.
