Dreams of colour (2)
Helios 44M-7 at F11. I have addressed the matter of the colour of dreams in a previous image/posting. Does Hermes (here, a plaster cast replica of the head of the Olympian Hermes) dream of the colours he has lost? The Greek statues of antiquity were frequently painted in radiant colours. They were much more life-like than the classicists of the 18th and 19th centuries made us believe. This plaster cast actually had been painted over by a generation of fine arts students who had used it as a model. Right then! What colour should go first?
