On the trail of primary colours and their secrets
On the trail of primary colours and their secrets
Red, blue and yellow - on the trail of the primary colours and their secrets
As part of the exhibition "Horizon Jawlensky. A painter and his role models van Gogh, Gauguin, Munch" from 21 June to 19 October 2014.
The painter Alexej Jawlensky and his fellow artists thought very carefully about the colours they wanted to use in their paintings. In the museum, we explore why they did this and what you can do with the colours. Why, for example, did the Expressionists so often paint black borders around their shapes? How do you make your painting glow without using neon colours? You can try all this out for yourself with acrylic paints in the studio.
