Reading: Bruce Cole, "Space and Colour as Emotion" The Informed Eye, 1999, Chicago: Ivan R. Dee Publishing, pp. 167-173
This reading was from the lecture on the 31st October with Michael Howard.
To summarise, the text was about how painters show emotion and feeling through the way they use colour and space in their images. Cole bases his text on the Parisian cafe painters such as Manet, Van Gogh, Gaugin, etc and talks about how their use of colour and composition evoke emotion in the viewer or represent the artists personal feelings and emotions.

It was not so much the concept of the text that inspered my current project but the choice of artists. I like the idea of the "cafe Culture" and the contrasts between now and then. this is what i want to portray in my work.
