Description

I made this painting for my book (published in Hebrew) "Aspects of Goethe's Theory of Colour". It attempts to show the beauty in the fairly schematic succession of the colours of the dark spectrum described by Goethe in his "Theory of Colour".
Although being an imaginative representation of the colours of the "First Stage Dark Spectrum", it is also based on my own numerous observations of the sunset and its colours and hues, so that it is in fact far from being purely schematic in nature. Rather, it is imbued with my love for sunsets as well as for Goethe's contribution to the understanding of this wonderful natural phenomenon.
