Artist Reviews:
Excerpts from COLOR CONTRAST
by Stan Bowman, Professor
Emeritus of Cornell University
Art Department
Review reprinted from The
Ithaca Times, 12/12/01, p. 14
Red is the color of fire, hot,
moving, sometimes dangerous.
It is also the color of blood,
that vital substance necessary
for all human life. ...
