This gallery exhibits the many different colors that we see throughout the day.
Breaking of Dawn, Yokoyama Taikan, 1940, From the collection of: Adachi Museum of Art
Lighter, more faded tones are used in this painting to reflect the start of daybreak. Sometimes in the morning, after just having woken up, our vision appears blurry.
During sunset, the sun puts on its own art show and transforms the sky into a brilliant aggregation of oranges and purples. The sun is going away and it will soon become dark.
Sunset, Samuel Palmer, 1805–1881, British, active in Italy (1837–39), ca. 1861, From the collection of: Yale Center for British Art
The sun becomes more real and you can watch it, undoubtedly, move across the sky, downwards.
By midnight, the world becomes pitch black. The artist depicts this painting as almost monochrome with the exception of yellow representing the man-made lighting.
