Yellow, Red, Blue: 1925, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris

Yel­low, Red, Blue. 1925: Cen­tre Georges Pom­pi­dou, Paris

 

Kandin­sky heard col­ors. They sang to him. His notes were col­ors, his col­ors notes. I see Jazz in the air, Bebop tick­ling the cere­bral cor­tex, trail­ing after the watcher and the painter and the singer in all of us. I see blue notes, sharps and flats, cho­ruses and improvs. The sun kisses that music and car­ries it through space and time. And there’s some­thing not quite right, or unfin­ished, and wait­ing. There’s some­thing ready to come into view on the right, like an unfin­ished sym­phony, an old Jazz or Blues num­ber found in the papers of a known or unknown mas­ter. I see a nat­ural mys­ti­cism, cool, mak­ing its own groove, its own geom­e­try of plea­sure. I see blue notes on a sum­mer day, mov­ing into glassy nights.

I hear col­ors. I see the Jazzy music of the spheres.
