White … is forever
“It is against a white surface that one best appreciates the play of light and shadow, solids and voids. Goethe said, ‘Color is the pain of light.’ Whiteness is perhaps the memory and the anticipation of color. In this way whiteness has been one means of sharpening perception and heightening the power of visual form.”
– Richard Meier (architect, Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate, 1984)
I just love how Goethe explains that “Colour is the pain of light.”
