The Percentage of Yellow

This is an intellectual work demonstrating the power of the color yellow.  The concept of the work is color theory combined with action painting.  In color theory , the extension , or impact on the eye of certain colors determines its  use in a painting. . . the painter must decide how much of each color is to be used in his painting.  In this painting, the law of color extension. . . the contrast of extension  (first codified by the German poet Goethe) is illustrated.   The small,out-of-focal area of the high intensity yellow is contrasted to the very large, diagonally designed area  of deep blue with the smaller area of transparent red. . .also high-action design.
