5. Read the following text. White
The white canvas – it’s like a layer of dust that covers up the real painting. It’s just a matter of cleaning it. I have a little brush to clear away the blue, another for the red, and another brush for the green. And when I’ve finished cleaning, the picture is all there. (Georges Braque (1882-1963)
In 1669, Isaac Newton (1642-1727) demonstrated that the colour white results from the synthesis of the six coloured rays that compose the spectrum. In other words, a surface “is” white when it reflects the light and all the colours in the visible spectrum.
The human eye is sensitive to infinite nuances of whiteness. The Inuit, for example, perceive seven varieties of white, and in India, Sanskrit texts distinguish between a shiny white, the whiteness of a tooth, the whiteness of a sandalwood, the whiteness of an autumnal moon and of autumnal clouds, the whiteness of silver and of cow’s milk, the whiteness of a pearl, a ray of light, a shell, a star and so on. As for the Japanese, they use six distinct terms to evoke whiteness, differentiated not only by brilliance of matteness, but also according to the energy of the colour. There are also inert whites and dynamic whites. Cultural vocabularies that reflect all these subtleties are becoming rare today, but the symbolism associated with the colour continues to be rich and meaningful. White plays an integral role in a variety of rituals and cults and is generally invested with positive values. And even if black and white are not recognized as “colour” by physicists, they contribute a certain formality to our palette.
Ultimate Light: White is purity, cleanliness, and innocence. Like black, white goes well with almost any colour.
Nature of White: To the human eye, white is a brilliant colour that can cause headaches for some. Too much bright white can be blinding.
Culture of White: In most Western countries white is the colour for brides. In the East, it's the colour for mourning and funerals. White is often associated with hospitals, especially doctors, nurses, and dentists. Some cultures viewed white as the colour of royalty or of deities. Angels are typically depicted as wearing white. In early Westerns the good guy wore white while the bad guy wore black.
