“To any white body receiving the light from the sun, or the air, the shadows will be of a bluish cast.”

Leonardo da Vinci

“I have established the semaphore of Suprematism. I have beaten the lining of the colored sky, torn it away and in the sack that formed itself, I have put color and knotted it. Swim! The free white sea, infinity, lies before you.”
Kasimir Malevich

“I have broken the blue boundary of color limits, come out into the white; beside me comrade-pilots swim in this infinity.”
Kasimir Malevich

“Working in white makes people look into it. White is ethereal. There’s a purity to it, it makes things look elevated in a way. There’s a whole palette of white…”
Jonathan Milne

“White covers a multitude of sins.”
Jonathan Milne

“The great black and white draftsman, the sculptor, and the blind man know that form and color are separate. The form itself is what the blind man knows… Color is surface skin that fits over the form.”
John Sloan

“Good colour really means good taste; and ‘powerful’ colour means a reserve, to give a climax its full force, and not ‘red, white, and blue all over.”
John F. Carlson

“Two colours are enough, just blue and white – more might be a nightmare.”
Jennifer Kostuik

“Of all the hues, reds have the most potency. If there is one electric blue, a dozen reds are so charged. Use them to punctuate white, burn into bronzes, or dynamite black.”
Jack Lenor Larsen

I’m sure it will but it is still fun to envision a change.
