Repeated similar experiments with adjacent colors will show that any ground subtracts its own hue from colors which it carries and therefore influences.

I have taught my students not to apply rules or mechanical ways of seeing.

I start from experience and read. . .always between polarities - loud and not-loud, young and old, spring and winter. If I can make black and white behave together instead of shooting at each other only, I feel proud.

If you don't do it my way, I suggest you commit suicide.

I want color and form to have contradictorily functions.

Simultaneous contrast is not just a curious optical phenomenon – it is the very heart of painting. Repeated experiments with adjacent colors will show that any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences.

Independent of harmony rules, any color 'goes' or 'works' with any other color, presupposing that their quantities are appropriate.
