Black and Violet, Wassily Kandinsky 1923
Rise to Art News DFW’s latest challenge to artists:
ORANGE Challenge
Americans perceive orange as a positive, cheerful color. It’s often the color of bountiful harvests in American realism, but at Halloween, it’s just spooky. In Ireland and the Ukraine, contemporary political movements associate the color orange with change. In Asia, orange is used to symbolize love.

Whether used as a tiny accent, or a field of color, orange is a warm color that tends to read as foreground and it can easily dominate artworks. Yet, Kandinsky, in Black and Violet, muted orange into a complementary background.
