Georges Seurat and colors

Georges Seurat

Seurat took to heart the color theorists' notion of a scientific approach to painting. Seurat believed that a painter could use color to create harmony and emotion in art in the same way that a musician uses counterpoint and variation to create harmony in music. Seurat theorized that the scientific application of color was like any other natural law, and he was driven to prove this conjecture. He thought that the knowledge of perception and optical laws could be used to create a new language of art based on its own set of heuristics and he set out to show this language using lines, color intensity and color schema. Seurat called this language Chromoluminarism.

His letter to Maurice Beaubourg in 1890 captures his feelings about the scientific approach to emotion and harmony. He says "Art is Harmony. Harmony is the analogy of the contrary and of similar elements of tone, of color and of line, considered according to their dominance and under the influence of light, in gay, calm or sad combinations".

Seurat's theories can be summarized as follows: The emotion of gaiety can be achieved by the domination of luminous hues, by the predominance of warm colors, and by the use of lines directed upward. Calm is achieved through an equivalence/balance of the use of the light and the dark, by the balance of warm and cold colors, and by lines that are horizontal. Sadness is achieved by using dark and cold colors and by lines pointing downward.

Soleil Levant | Claude Monet

Claude Monet
Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant)
1872

It's a picture that represents the dawn: what he wanted to bring out the author was the first impression he had before this time of day.
In the background the sun appears like a fireball in the fog, the sea where the water reflects the colors of dawn.
In the foreground there is only the dark shape of a small boat. In the background, shrouded in mist and smoke, can glimpse the shadows of some chimneys.
It 'a framework in which colors prevail bodied, orange and blue dominate and, in part, the green mixed with blue water, the light is a bit' blurred, because the sun is not up yet.
It 'a picture is revolutionary because it does not landscape but the sensation it provokes the landscape itself.

hot and cold | industry vs artis

Industrialization changed the way of thinking about hot and cold.

The contrast "hot versus cold" in a society based on agriculture and handicraft corresponded to the collision "fire vs. ice". But then the progressive industrialization has changed the meaning of the two adjectives leading to a comparison between the energy and the set of tools related to it and the refrigerator, as well as the set of devices that allow the cooling.

We can say that the watch is the first tool of an industrial society, because it changed the society and made it an industrial one. But also energy had changed  considerably the way of life, bringing the light in the houses and also an high number of tools useful for housekeepers.

Then you can add:

- the transition time from the icebox to the refrigerator;

- the transition from fire to light, engine and oven.

Hot and Cold | Richard Hell

Hot and Cold is a collection of essays poems  lyrics notebooks pictures fiction of Richard Hell's experience.

Richard Hell (born Richard Lester Meyers; October 2, 1949) is a singer, songwriter, bass guitarist, and writer.

Hell is probably best known as frontman for the early punk rock band Richard Hell & The Voidoids. Their 1977 album, Blank Generation, influenced many other punk bands. Its title song was named "One of the 500 Songs That Shaped Rock" by music writers in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame listing, and, for instance, is ranked as one of the all-time top-ten punk songs by a 2006 poll of original British punk figures, as reported in the Rough Guide to Punk.

Hell was an originator of the punk fashion look, the first to spike his hair and wear torn, cut and drawn-on shirts, often held together with safety pins. Malcolm McLaren, manager of the Sex Pistols, has said Hell was an important inspiration for the Sex Pistols' look and attitude, as well as the safety-pin accessorized clothing McLaren sold in his London shop, Sex. (Some members of the Sex Pistols dispute this.)

Since the late 1980s Hell has devoted himself primarily to writing, publishing two novels, as well as several other books. He was the film critic for BlackBook magazine from 2004–2006.

In 1996 Hell wrote a novel, Go Now, that was drawn largely from his own experience, and he released a collection of short pieces (poems, essays and drawings) called Hot and Cold in 2001.

A Song of Ice and Fire | George Raymond Richard Martin

A Song of Ice and Fire is a series of epic fantasy novels by American novelist and screenwriter George R. R. Martin. Martin began writing the series in 1991 and the first volume was published in 1996. Originally planned as a trilogy, the series now consists of four published volumes with three more planned. There are also three prequel novellas available, with several more planned, and a series of novellas consisting of excerpts of the main novels. One of these excerpt novellas has won a Hugo Award. The series has been translated into more than twenty languages and the fourth volume reached the top of the New York Times bestseller lists upon its release. Overall, the series has sold more than 3.5 million copies in the USA and more than 7 million worldwide.

The story of A Song of Ice and Fire takes place in a fictional world, primarily upon a continent called Westeros but also on a large landmass to the east, known as Essos. Most of the characters are human but as the series progresses other races are introduced, such as the cold and menacing Others from the far North and fire-breathing dragons from the East, both races thought to be extinct by the people of the story. There are three principal storylines in the series: the chronicling of a dynastic civil war for control of Westeros between several competing families; the rising threat of the Others who dwell beyond an immense wall of ice that forms Westeros' northern border; and the ambition of Daenerys Targaryen, the exiled daughter of a king who was murdered in another civil war fifteen years previously, to return to Westeros and claim her rightful throne. As the series progresses, all three storylines become increasingly interwoven and dependent on each other.

The series is told in the limited third-person through the eyes of a number of point of view characters. By the end of the fourth volume, there have been seventeen such characters with multiple chapters and eight who only have one chapter apiece.

The growing popularity of the series led to it being optioned by HBO for development of a television adaptation, named Game of Thrones. A pilot episode was produced in 2009 and a series commitment for nine further episodes was made in March 2010.

There are board and role-playing games based on the books available, as well as a collection of artwork based on and inspired by the series. The French video game company, Cyanide, has announced that they have partnered with Martin to create a video game adaption of the books, entitled A Game of Thrones: Genesis.

Rolling Stones | She's So Cold

I'm so hot for her, I'm so hot for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold
I'm so hot for her, I'm on fire for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold

I'm the burning bush, I'm the burning fire
I'm the bleeding volcano
I'm so hot for her, I'm so hot for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold

Yeah, I tried re-wiring her, tried re-firing her
I think her engine is permanently stalled
She's so cold she's so cold
She's so cold cold cold
Like a tombstone
She's so cold, she's so cold
she's so cold cold cold like an ice cream cone
She's so cold she's so cold
I dare not touch her my hand just froze...

Anaximander and the Apeiron

Anaximander (Ancient Greek: Ἀναξίμανδρος, Anaximandros) (c. 610 BC–c. 546 BC) was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher who lived in Miletus, a city of Ionia; Milet in modern Turkey. He belonged to the Milesian school and learned the teachings of his master Thales. He succeeded Thales and became the second master of that school where he counted Anaximenes and Pythagoras amongst his pupils.

From his phylosophy the Apeiron are generated in the first place "as otherwise" (hot/cold, wet/dry, etc.), ie the elements, since the nature of each element corresponds to a given quality (so the fire is hot, the water cold, etc.). In this sense, then, apeiron missing, as well as limitations, including quality from this substrate Aqualit born the four constituent elements of reality. It is no coincidence that the universe, everything is equipped with precise boundaries: the reality Unlimited (Apeiron) created all things and each of them becomes the limit with the rise of the rest.

Philolaus the largest Pythagoreans of the second genaration

Philolaus is one of the largest Pythagoreans of the second generation of the movement of earth's revolution around the central fire. For Philolaus there are 4 elements: fire, water, earth and air. These are changing and moving through it all. They form the Cosmos (animated, thinking, spherical) whose center is the earth (spherical, habited). The four elements are equal in the cosmos: light/dark, hot/cold and dry/wet.

The philosopher Bernardino Telesio

According to the philosophy of Bernardino Telesio from the principles that govern the life of nature are three. Agents operating in the universe in fact two principles - the hot and cold - they are able to perceive and be perceived. But the hot and cold need a third principle, this time liabilities, which exert their action: the body mass or matter. Neither the nature nor the staff body mass index are substantial, as neither the one nor the other can exist by itself (and this is the etymological meaning of the term substance). On the one hand, the principles of staff may not operate if they do not matter, because no principle immaterial - as are the hot and cold - can produce an effect without infuse into something material. On the other hand, body mass, in itself inert and shapeless (and only) was created by God to be formed, and continuously changing nature of the two agents. The three principles - hot, cold and body mass - are thus never separated.

Lapland | Desert

The opposition "hot and cold" represent the contrasts between the hot and cold zones of the Earth, which can be symbolized by the people of Lapland and Bedouins of the desert.

Cold Front | Hot Front

A weather front is a boundary separating two masses of air of different densities, and is the principal cause of meteorological phenomena. In surface weather analyses, fronts are depicted using various colored lines and symbols, depending on the type of front. The air masses separated by a front usually differ in temperature and humidity. Cold fronts may feature narrow bands of thunderstorms and severe weather, and may on occasion be preceded by squall lines or dry lines. Warm fronts are usually preceded by stratiform precipitation and fog. The weather usually clears quickly after a front's passage. Some fronts produce no precipitation and little cloudiness, although there is invariably a wind shift.

A cold front is defined as the leading edge of a mass of cooler air, Replacing (at ground level) a mass of warmer air. The cooler, denser air wedges under the less-dense warmer air, lifting it. This upward motion causes lowered pressure along the cold front and can cause the formation of a narrow line of showers and thunderstorms when enough moisture is present. Instead a warm front is defined as the leading edge of an advancing mass of warm air; it separates warm air from the colder air ahead.

Refrigerator | Freezer

A refrigerator is a tool often used in our daily lives to preserve food. Its operation is based on the temperature to fall below the freezing water, up to 3 ° - 5 ° C. Similar is the operation of the freezer, but also reaches -18 ° C.

It is, therefore, a device that allows a transition from hot to cold.
