"Being a colourist is not a simple matter of planings reds, greens and yellows next to one another, without any rules or proportions. A colourist must know how to place his colours in order and to sacrifice some in order to improve others. Noise and music are not synonymous. To juxtapose colours, no matter how intense they may be, without observing contrats is like filling a child's colouring book and it is not the role of a colourist."
- Paul Signac, 1921
