What is important at some point is what colors will an artist used in a painting. A interesting lecture was proposed to address this very problem. Artists grew weary of scientific solutions to address their problem. Why would a problem like this exist? Simple we evolve though time. Just examine the various art through the ages. The image and the material changes both in time and in space. As we evolve our understanding and ability to interact as well as to view nature changes. Indeed the color problem was so complex for scientists that the problem was reduce to exclude the soul, the spirit, and the body from consideration. As a result you get painted rooms that feel dull. People feel sad when housed in such a room. There is a lifeless quality. Museums house a mixture of paintings placed on cold appealing walls. The viewers and goers have become confused as to what question a piece of art contains. More and more people are attending art exhibits each day. They are searching, or being drawn. To help everyone this blog will present results from spiritual science on the question which color to use in a painting? Johnann Wolfgang von Goethe did a series of paintings. He was also interested in what colors the human psyche was interested in. If the artist desires to make paintings with energy and hence make the viewer attracted to the image then a good suggestion is to avoid taking paint from a pallet. Better to stir the pigments fresh and dip the brush into a pot containing the paint. Stirring by the painter with the brush will add life to the paint that adheres to the brush. This is a way of adding kinetic energy to the drawing. The use of the pallet has killed many paintings. Artists were forced to compensate and add unique brush stokes. Hence the reason why Vincent van Gogh work on The Starry Night attracts viewers. People seek reproductions on items such as handbags, and umbrellas. The effect of life infused into the painting attracts the viewer. The swirls represent actual steps in activating the glands in the body. The steps used in yoga and alchemical methods. Vincent Van Gogh painting called Starry Night. About the year 1889. Compare this pattern of the swirls with a much earlier work by Johann Georg Gichtel. His original work was published in 1779 in a work entitled Theosphia practica in German. The version of the diagram below is in French. The information on the picture refers to different topics. For the curious. The lower right side reads: Reside in, The triangle pointing up has the word Heart next to it, The triangle pointing down has the word Liver next to it, The triangle pointing down with the line across at its base has the word lungs next to it, The triangle pointing up with a line across its base has the word Bladder next to it. The text on the lower left side reads: Elements and below the words in the following order Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. These elements match up with the symbols. Therefore the elements reside in certain organs. Fire resides in the Heart. Water resides in the Liver. Earth resides in the Lungs, and Air resides in the Bladder. Remember the word elements here refers to energies. As a group they are called Tattvas. Fire is called Agni Tattva. It is the main energy in the body. It sustains life in the body. Water is called Apas Tattva. Earth is called Pritvi Tattva, Air is called Aayu Tattva. It is useful to know the Tattva names of the elements when studying yoga. Regardless of the year or language you will notice the concept of the swirl in the painting is an archetype. The artist and the viewer using the swirl to control their glands by way of the chakras. The sequence of where the swirl passes a gland (or if you like consider the region to be a chakra control point for the gland). This is utilized in yoga and alchemy. In order to communicate with out superconscious mind we use art as a common language. The archetype of the swirl is a component of this language. Question: Why did the impressionist paint outside? People at the 1840 - 1920 era forgot how to imagine nature. They evolved into a materialistic society. Their thoughts became abstract and their goal was to be praised for their ability to make measurements as well as perform analysis. A work by Claude Monet. The archway of the bridge corresponds to your skull. Monet made a series of waterlily paintings. This particular flower has an esoteric meaning. It is believed that all life originated from this flower. The lotus petals are used to represent the chakra system of nerve ganglion which control the glands. When asked the reason why viewers like to look upon the waterlily series they would not have an answer. There is a physiological reason as well. By contemplation of the flower the viewer achieves control of their glandular system. The use of color and spirit can be described in terms of the presence or absence of spirit and a pigment. The resulting pigment involves the interaction of the shadow interacting with the illuminant. A rough guide is presented in the table below: Shadow Illuminant Pigment The spirit The dead Black The dead The living Green The living The psyche Peach-blossom The psyche The spirit White This table shows the choice of pigment involves knowledge of the elements referred to in the literature of the west as Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Quintessence. These elements interact and form courser species which condense and form our pigments as views by us. This adds an additional screening process to the application of the color wheel. The choice of color is more complex as in the West red is not not favored as a color yet in the East red is a looked up as a good color. White is actually shunned. This means the artist must work with the painting on an individual basis. The hue, and saturation, have to be associated with surface effects. The next evolution in painting will include touch as a sense. This is why the luster achieved by adding paint from a stirred pot provides the necessary energy. A luster can be imparted to the surface of the painting. Pigment market in Venice One reason why the renaissance paintings contain such attractive power is the human energy that went into the preparation. The second reason was based on the day and month of the preparation. With the awareness of the seasons people are beginning to understand how to take control of glands by use of art objects and symbols in image as well as architecture and clothing. A painting by Raphael. Notice how the building inside resembles the brain. The use of the arch was also used by Claude Monet. If you enlarge this photo you will make a discovery. The central two figures in the foreground are surrounded by 12 figures. An astute viewer will notice the front arch contains swirls. These are to be used in the yoga and alchemical exercises. the painting was constructed so that the viewer can gain this information at a glance and use it to benefit their health. The image represents the higher mind surrounded by the 5 winds and the 7 breaths. The winds are referred to as the vital airs, or life winds. They are also called Pranas. The 7 breaths correspond to the 7 chakras along the spinal column. They are called Tattva. The Restored New Testament. by James Morgan Pryse explains these terms. This shows an example of the arch and swirl being incorporated into the painting in an ingenious way. The objects are not intrusive. Yet with a little meditation they can be found by both the higher and lower mind Both arches yield the design, This would make Fucanelli proud.
