Specialist note

I have interpreted the universe in terms of five primary colours: black, white, red, blue, and yellow. A total chromatic expression can be achieved by mixing primary colours with other secondary colours, such as greens, browns, and ochres. From there you can move to a great austerity of colours till you come to a supreme purity of form. - S.H. Raza
