Seva Series—No. 1. Dissertation on Painting

1922

These things are real and actually occur to a person but due to the simplicity of the mind people on many occasions fail to explain the truths in different stages in the formation of the concept so that in the picture we have the form the colour the dimensions the pose and in the intensified form there is voice too. [...] The duration the flickering or theCOLOUR 41 stable state of the projected figure the hazy the glaring and the effulgent colours of it are the measurment or index of the amount of energy generated in the nerve-system. [...] In ordinary cases the exultations or the emotions are marked out by the change of colour on the cheek the tip of the nose the lips and the chin and finally by the position and the different tinges on the eye balls. [...] In the lower class of paintings which are itended for the people and the casual observers the violent sentiments are expressed by dazzling colours as if plastering the canvas with a lump of coloured oil and overlooking the psychological rules as to the position of the head face eyes and the expression that are coming out through the pose and particular movement of the face and of the tints. [...] Though we generally take the position of the eyes as the climax as the summation of ideas yet the different nerves and tissues of the.face and of the whole body as expressive of the tendency are of great value.
