Art's Expressive Color Use in Paintings
Color in art has many uses. One use is to express emotions, feelings and mood. The above painting, Mother and Child (1928) was painted by French artist, Marie Laurencin (1883 – 1956). The artist used color to express an affectionate, warm-hearted mood. The image in values (gray scale) shows little contrast except for the eyes and parts of the background. The warm and muted hues provide viewers with a loving, delicate image. Components of color are hue,value and intensity. Artists use these components to express the mood of their paintings.
