John Cage, "Lecture on Nothing."
A recent visit to the Art Institute of Chicago, had me stopped in my tracks - again - while heading to the entrance at the Modern Wing. Pae White's "Restless Rainbow" greets you, giving you a taste of the artist's commissioned installation. The "fallen" rainbow wraps and drenches the Bluhm Family Terrace with rich, saturated, vibrant color. The installation is pretty incredible. Highly recommend you see if for yourself (it's up through September 20th). It got me thinking about the emotional and spiritual power of color in art. Stipes, stacked, layered color. It always seems to strike me. Here are a few that I keep coming back to starting with White's installion:
