“My colour has no symbolic function whatever. I don’t want any colour to
be noticeable. I want the colour to be the colour of life, so that you
would notice it as being irregular if it changed. I don’t want it to

want people to say, “Oh, what was that red or that blue picture of
yours, I’ve forgotten what it was.”
