Color has a life all its own. Without art, without people, it is everywhere, one of the natural wonders of the world. Still what people have managed to do with it sometimes seems miraculous, a gift. Especially in art, where its generosity and warmth become even more direct.
Further adventures in loose painting and bold colors arrived in October with Vertigo of Color: Matisse, Derain and the Origins of Fauvism, on view at the Met through Jan. 21. It examined the first, possibly shortest modern art movement of the 20th century, which solidified during the summer of 1905 when Henri Matisse and Andre Derain worked side-by-side in the South of France.
