“How Lovely Yellow Is!” My Dear Theo, I have found myself in the flower gardens of Montmartre and have immersed my life in yellow! In my mind, it stands for the sun, a blazing star of ochre-chrome newly opened in a troubled sky. Such discovery is a rare seed like a citrine of deepest fire waiting to explode when the universe can no longer hold the bloom. Its blaze of raw saffron melds with shades of iron cadmium. My rooms are a smother of platinum; goldenrod tendrils invade my brain with an intensity close to insanity.
