For these pieces, color is not only a tool (like a paintbrush or a canvas) but the fundamental secret to their success. Color allows artists to express their individuality, evoke certain moods, and portray positive or negative subliminal messages. And throughout historythe greatest of artists have experimented with new pigments and new technologies to lead movements and deliver masterpieces.
