| Portrait of a Lady, by Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta, circa 1900-10. |
So far I've put together several posts comprised of images of women dressed in the same featured color; all red, yellow, pink, etc. At the special request of a friend - she literally begged me to do it, I must say - I've now collected a great big bunch of ladies - too many? - all arrayed in various gorgeous shades of green.

Certainly not too many. Among many other things, this makes me want to learn a great deal more about Herr Mehoffer - what a stunning portrait (as are they all, for matter).
ReplyDeleteThank you! And, yes, Mehoffer does look to be an "artist of interest". : )
DeleteLove, love, love this color so much! Thank you. Interestingly, I've learned from the Tomatis people (a pioneer in psychoacoustics) that artists who have "open ears" see more colors of green, the auditory and visual circuits being connected.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Of course, I just had to Google Tomatis - someone I'd never heard of, nor his theories or techniques - and find it all quite intriguing. Have you had personal experience with any of that?
DeleteI do indeed. Lots. See my blog VoiceTalk (www.voice-talk.net) and search the "cloud' there for more info. He wrote quite a few books, only a few of which have been translated into English. "The Ear and the Voice" is one. You can also find Tomatis resources at my studio website: http://www.shigovoicestudio.com/links/
