Evil Toxic Yellow
vs.
Friendly Happy Modernist.

"Chrome yellow, developed in France by the chemist Nicolas Louis Vauguelin, and available in 1809, was a pigment discovery that produced a more affordable and stable intense yellow.


Prior to its discovery bright yellows were unstable —
fading rapidly, or were highly toxic."

"David Garcia Studio inaugurated this prize winning installation in September 2009. Combining simple geometry with playful intentions, the 6 elements were designed to enhance play and inspire two different age groups of a newly built kinder-garden in Drejens, Denmark. Shifts in scale and direction, and variations in space, from intimate to shared and open, define the social qualities of the interventions. But it is the simplicity of the compositions, which allow for open interpretations, that has received so many compliments and have proven to be an instant hit with children. The installation was carried out in collaboration with artist Pernille Worsøe and designer Martin Larsen. The works were manufactured by boat builders Årøsund Bådværft. "

"Van Gogh rented a small yellow house situated on the Place Lamartine. He intended that it would become the center of his Studio of the South. In a letter to his sister, he described the cheerful building as "a little yellow house with a green door and green blinds, whitewashed inside—on the white walls very brightly colored Japanese prints, red tiles on the floor—the house in the full sunlight—and over it an intensely blue sky…."

"Yellow is not a practical colour to use when selling expensive items to men ...
they perceive it as an untrustworthy and childish ...
and avoid yellow if you wish to evoke safety and stability.
Care is needed with shades of yellow as they can lose their warmth and appear dirty. "

Emily Dickinson:

"Nature rarer uses Yellow
Than another Hue.
Saves she all of that for Sunsets
Prodigal of Blue

Spending Scarlet, like a Woman
Yellow she affords
Only scantly and selectly
Like a Lover's Words."
