The Monday Morning Memo

The BeagleSword was a thundering god
and the rabbit hole, a meandering ramble
through changing weather.

“Color is crucial in painting,
but it is very hard to talk about.”
– Roy Lichtenstein

“It is hard, if not impossible, to remember distinct colors. 
This underscores the important fact that the visual memory is 
very poor in comparison with our auditory memory. Often the latter
is able to repeat a melody heard only once or twice.


Second, the nomenclature of color is most inadequate. 
Though there are innumerable colors – shades and tones – in daily
vocabulary, there are only about 30 color names.”
(Notice the extremely different color palettes in the
images at the top and bottom of this page – RHW)

– Dr. Josef Albers,
Interaction of Color, ch. 1
 

“When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college – that my job was to teach people how


to draw. She stared back at me, incredulous, and said, 
‘You mean they forget?'”

 

– Howard Ikemoto

Random Quote:

“I know some very great writers, writers you love who write beautifully and have made a great deal of money, and not one of them sits down routinely feeling wildly enthusiastic and confident. Not one of them writes elegant first drafts. All right, one of them does, but we do not like her very much. We do not think that she has a rich inner life or that God likes her or can even stand her. (Although when I mentioned this to my priest friend Tom, he said that you can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.)
“
