The Mystery-Wisdom of Colour: Its Creative and Healing Powers by Gladys MAYER

“… an attempt is made to show a way through painting to a more intimate understanding of colour. It is not enough to read, or write about it. One needs to work with colours, and learn through experience, how to speak its subtle, but wonderful, language. Colours speaks in art, and its language is always true. We do not need to shrink back at the horrors it now displays; but neither can be any longer afford to ignore its warning. So this is a book about more than colour in painting. It is a call to the spiritually-adventurous to participate in a mighty struggle that is going on in the soul of man, a battle known since time immemorial as the spiritual battle between Michael and the Dragon. The Archangel Michael, Inspirer of Intelligence, and the Archangel Raphael, Spirit of Healing, work together for wisdom and healing in the field of artistic creation. May they inspire this book, its writer and its readers.”
