Color is an essential part of how we experience the world, both biologically and culturally. One of the earliest formal explorations of color theory came from an unlikely source — the German poet, artist, and politician Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who in 1810 published Theory of Colors (public library; public domain), his treatise on the nature, function, and psychology of colors. Though the work was dismissed by a large portion of the scientific community, it remained of intense interest to a cohort of prominent philosophers and physicists, including Arthur Schopenhauer, Kurt Gödel, and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
One of Goethe’s most radical points was a refutation of Newton’s ideas about the color spectrum, suggesting instead that darkness is an active ingredient rather than the mere passive absence of light. YELLOWThis is the color nearest the light. It appears on the slightest mitigation of light, whether by semi-transparent mediums or faint reflection from white surfaces. Tytus Brzozowski - Watercolor Paintings | Painting. Tytus Brzozowski is an architect and watercolorist from Poland. A great admirer of his hometown, Warsaw, the artist captures in his paintings the essence of the modern city, in it’s constant turmoil and change. Using surrealistic elements and tricks with perspective and light, the artist gives his paintings a sense of magic and mystery.
Both, in architecture and painting, the artist cares about texture, mood and light. I feel the same excitement while designing space to be useful and interesting for its users as while creating scenes in my watercolors. I’m a passionate of the city, it’s bustle and mood. An important part of his artistic education was traveling, where he learned about the basics of nature, such as light and and shadow, reflections, colors, perspective. He also moved for two years in Finland, for his architectural practice, where the harsh climate, light, simple and clear architecture, modest and friendly people, have polished the artist he is today.
