Benson University of Massachusetts Amherst Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.umass.edu/art_jbgc Benson, J.L., "Greek Color Theory and the Four Elements [full text, not including figures]" (2000). Greek Color Theory and the Four Elements. 1. Retrieved from https://scholarworks.umass.edu/art_jbgc/1 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Art at ScholarWorks@UMass Amherst. It has been accepted for inclusion in Greek Color Theory and the Four Elements by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks@UMass Amherst. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Cover design by Jeff Belizaire ABOUT THIS BOOK Why does earlier Greek painting (Archaic/Classical) seem so clear and—deceptively— simple while the latest painting (Hellenistic/Graeco-Roman) is so much more complex but also familiar to us? Is there a single, coherent explanation that will cover this remarkable range? What can we recover from ancient documents and practices that can objectively be called “Greek color theory”? Present day historians of ancient art consistently conceive of color in terms of triads: red, yellow, blue or, less often, red, green, blue. This habitude derives ultimately from the color wheel invented by J.W. Goethe some two centuries ago. So familiar and useful is his system that it is only natural to judge the color orientation of the Greeks on its basis. To do so, however, assumes, consciously or not, that the color understanding of our age is the definitive paradigm for that subject.

  • Spinoza and Hinduism
    SIMNOZIS.M A XI) lUXDl'lSAl I!V KUUT F. I.EIDECKKR E\'I']X tile reader of Spinoza's litJilcs whose acquaintance with I linchi thinkinj^- is sHght cannot fail to he struck hy the num- ber of ])arallels hetween the princi])al tenets of both. 'J'he Latin of the Ilthica is also similar to the Sanskrit in the philosojjhical por- tions of the \'edic writings. The directness of both languages is no less amazing than the sincerity and frankness with whicJT the deepest thoughts are expressed. Hindu philosophy had reached a height of insight when the be- ginnings of western philosophy were, to all appearance, still lost in speculations about the physical world. But the precocity of India was followed by a long period of slumber, as it were, which con- tinues almost down to the present. The schools that in later years engaged in hot disputes all seem to be below the level which had been attained long ago, while the principles set forth in Yedic times stand unshaken in their Himalayan solitude. In the West there has been a continrous efifort to build up idealistic systems, to keep them intact and buttress them. The strong critical tendency character- istic of the western attitude threatened to tear down the noblest structures, the highest ideas, wdiereas in India debates were meant only for raising the highest to yet loftier peaks. Eternal truths one left untouched in their original formulation with a piety known onlv to Orientals. The short, archaic ])hrases and definitions of the L'jianishads and cognate literature, which we here make the basis of our com- parison, are still the living heritage of India, and the forms which their highest speculations assumed are even now, after so manv centuries, considered ader|uate and concise.
