The Great Ultramarine Print

The essence of every painting is a color, and every person receives it differently. Is the perception of man really responsible for the "difference of view"? Are there any nuances in the functioning of the lens or retina, or are there some differences in the transmission of light waves to the brain? Or maybe we use different concepts to describe the same phenomenon? Scientists' research confirmed that different colors cause different levels of arousal. It is stronger in direct proportion to the wavelength of the light, the intensity of the colored light, and the larger the field of vision covers the action of the stimulus. Deep into physics, I saw some analogies between art (visual and music) and science. In fact, these analogies are related to the observation of the world, where everything has been created so that harmony prevails. Physics in spite of its abstractness, because describing phenomena occurs with the participation of strict scientific research, i.e. the so-called "slides", it defines clear principles which become the criterion of achieved understanding. Generally, scientific knowledge develops in three stages of research. The first is to collect data about the phenomenon in order to clarify them. The second, the creation of a theory based on research, and the third - the formulation of a verbal description that will be a criterion for the understanding achieved. However, it is still necessary to remember that the language of physics operates with abstract concepts. The researcher's attitude to physical phenomena is also the expression of a certain philosophical attitude. Painting is a process. An image is a collection of elements that include shapes and colors. The arrangement of mutual elements creates a composition or the whole picture. Each element of the image has its own specific function and place. So that an image composed of many elements becomes meaningful when relations between particular elements are established in relation to the knowledge, values and intuitions of the recipient. The colors placed on the image are not independent entities, independent of each other. They exist only in mutual relationship, they are relative to each other. The same applies to the Albert Einstein system, in the theory of relativity between place and time. All these features are dependent on each other, as well as their interpretation (for example time versus speed) has its source in the context of the situation. The relationships between colors are the introduction of order and harmony in the image. The composition can be static or dynamic, however, the mutual arrangement of colors and shapes determines the visual message of the image. Rudolf Arnheim claims that scholars for centuries have been able to expand knowledge about reality by describing the network of mechanical compounds. However, works of art will never be able to create or understand a mind incapable of understanding the integrated structure of the whole. The whole is treated here as a set of all forms appearing on the image, where each element is important, because it is part of the whole. The same applies to the field of music, which consists of sounds of the right timbre, pitch and volume, recorded in time. We save music in the form of music notation. We use notes that, in addition to performing a specific function, i.e. sound, become a graphic form. Bogusław Shaeffer, an outstanding Polish musician and playwright, often made graphics and collages of his musical compositions to expand the concept of music and visual art. Thus, a common feature of art (painting, music) and science is an attempt to describe reality from the point of view of an individual. The artist is in a sense a scientist who "examines" the world and interprets it in the form of an image or a musical piece. However, the difference lies in defining the word "world", "reality". Hence the multiplicity of art and artistic attitudes. Therefore, following Ludwig Wittgenstein's thought that the boundaries of language are the boundaries of the world, I come to the conclusion that the naming of color is closely related to our knowledge about it, but also to cognitive intuition, through which it is possible to interpret an abstract phenomenon. Because the color does not exist in itself, the fact that we call something blue and red is only a code that we use between ourselves to understand each other.
