Green Tea Chocolates, watercolor, 9" x 11 1/2"
The Russian project set me off on a red-pink spin I can't kick
The Museum at F.I.T. has a show on, Color in Fashion and it's significance. Displayed was this wonderful 18th century red hooded cape. Little Red Riding Hood comes to mind, published in 17th c France by Charles Perault, when red cloaks functioned as the sign of a prostitute. Hmmm...
Librairie Chantelivre, 13, rue de Sevres, has a window full of Le Petit Chaperon Rouge
This version is called The Little Drinker of Red Ink. Evidently Odilon was bitten by Draculivre, and can only subsist on the words on book pages. Some Fr versions of this simple tale can get quite complicated.
Red is a powerful color. It has many functions. To warn of danger, as a symbol of war (blood), and both sacred and profane love. The Russian word krasnoi means both "red" and "beautiful". From the F.I.T. brouchure.
A contemporary digitized wolf and Red Riding Hood.
Here's a more traditional looking Red Riding Hood. If you're in New York stop by FIT on 7th Ave. and 27th street to see the color exhibit!
