Red

“It can stimulate deeper passions, whether they be of sex and love, courage, hatred or even revenge.”

“Red is helpful for the presbyopic or far-sighted individual to become ego-entered.  Red draws the ego back into the self.  Red is used for the extrovert to go back into his shell.”

“The artist seeks contact with his intuitive sense of the gods, but in order to create his work, he cannot stay in this seductive and incorporeal realm. He must return to the material world in order to do his work. It’s the artist’s responsibility to balance mystical communication and the labor of creation.” ―Patti Smith, Just Kids

“When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes the machine that makes the art.”

—Sol LeWitt, Paragraphs on Conceptual Art
