The Power of Red

Red has always been my color
because red stands out. 
Red is one of the strongest colors, its blood,
it has a power with the eye.
That’s why traffic lights are red I guess, and stop signs as well…
In fact, I use red in all of my paintings.
– Keith Haring

Red is the greatest clarifier – bright and revealing. I can’t imagine becoming bored with red – it would be like becoming
bored with the person you love. 
– Diana Vreeland

Red is uplifting. 
– J. Lewis

Red protects itself. No color is as territorial.
It stakes a claim, is on the alert against the spectrum.
~ Derek Jarman

When I haven’t any blue, I use red.
– Pablo Picasso

I love red so much,
I almost want to paint everything red.
– Alexander Calder

Red, of course, is the color of the interior of our bodies.
In a way it’s inside out, red. 
– Anish Kapoor

Red is the ultimate cure for sadness.
– Bill Blass

Red can communicate all sorts of messages.
Red symbolizes passion, action, energy, happiness,
authority, strength, and confidence…
– Adam Glassman
