The fact of the transformation of the color plane into a slice of infinity, in the
presence of space, light and movement, into a screen on which anyone can
inscribe his complement according to the power of his imagination - is astonishing
and today still as mysterious as the fact that the color impressions sent by the eye
color impressions acquire meaning through a process occurring at a higher
level of the nervous system in the brain. (...) The differential effect of
of colors in painting can only be checked by my individuality
and from it must take strength.
