Color is the essence of landscape, of mood, of our whole perception of the physical world. Whether taken from a palette, deployed as propaganda, or opening the doors of perception, color is central to art not only as an element but also as an idea. The work included in this exhibition celebrates the definitions and debates around the history, meaning and use of color in contemporary art.
