Colour

The label for French painting from 1886 to 1905 that kept Impressionism's vivid colour and threw out its naturalistic light.

Fauvism wasn’t about feeling—it was about forcing the eye to move like a car on a coastal road.

Aquatint didn’t imitate painting—it invented a new grammar of printed tone.

Pointillism isn’t about light—it’s about forcing your eye to do the work the palette refuses to do.

Color symbolism isn’t universal—it’s a contested, time-bound code that breaks every time you cross a border or a decade.
