NOGUEIRA, Ilda M. A. Monteiro. Color as Crucial Element of the Artwork: Techniques and pigments in artistic creation. Revista Convergências [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.28, pp.25-42.  Epub 31-Nov-2021. ISSN 2184-0180.  https://doi.org/10.53681/c1514225187514391s.28.106.

This theoretical and descriptive study aims above all at knowledge and mastery in the manipulation of various pictorial materials, which are fundamental for the work of painters. From the mid-twentieth century, some artists sought to explore the potential of color with regard to the materiality, concrete character, and physicality of its environment, providing the development of singularities in painting conceptions and innovation in the chromatic and spatial relations of the pictorial objects. The artists developed works that start from different premises: each one ponders and formalizes the issues of chromatic materiality in a different way, reaching very different plastic results. The potential meaning of colors can contribute to expressing shared ideas or agreed codes, but also personal and idiosyncratic ideas, particular to each one, manifesting color as a metaphor for the translation and creation of new meanings, ideas, sensations or places, according to the objectives of the work. This study intends to demonstrate that color is a fundamental element of the work of art, and can be used in the various stages of the creative process, not only in communication stages, but also in the conceptual and formal process of thinking.
