research, my mother reminded me that my
one-time art dealer Ray Hughes said I
should paint a few good pictures rather
than hundreds. My reply was, “As a
maximalist, I’ve never done anything
that way.”
This approach is not original. In 1807,
English polymath Thomas Young published
A Course of Lectures on Natural

attempting to outline all knowledge of his
time. In the historical section of Zur
Farbenlehre, published in 1810, German
poet and scientist Johann Wolfgang von
Goethe attempted to outline all the known
theories of colour. Then in 1988, Dennis
Sepper described Goethe’s colour science
methodology as “naive induction”. |
