A Skip Through Time
This is not an introduction. This is not a welcome. It is a remembrance.
When I first set forth on this color analysis journey, it was difficult to find my footing at first, until I found it. But we will save that to be revealed in the next set, which will be referred to as Set A. This set will be known as Null O (Zero). In Null O, we take a trip through the first color and art analysis that I endured while contemplating on the idea of Chroma Illuminosity. They were my babies and I would not feel as whole of a writer if I continued my color analysis journey without recognizing those that paved the way. Studying, “Morning Ride on the Beach” (1876), I felt the movement of the water and walked on the sands of time as the horses did, at the same time marveling in the wonder witnessing the birth of the first man Adam who touches the hand of his god in, “The Creation of Adam” (1508-12). The haunting artwork, “The Tempest” (1506-08) showcases a beautiful landscape but the meaning is open to many interpretations while “The Red Tower in Halle” (1915) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, delivers a historic a depiction of oncoming doom in Germany. Titan takes centerstage in this set with two artworks, “Bacchus and Ariadne” (1520-23) and “Sacred and Profane Love” (1514), both rich in symbolism, color, and iconography. Ladies and Gentlemen, let us take a skip through time with the artworks within Set Null (O).
