“The price of the painting is my knife.”
Caravaggio, Derek Jarman, 1986.
“Colour has its boundaries, though we are pushing at them. Imagine a blue geranium. They are imagining a blue rose–which will be a contradiction until the end of time. He bought me a dozen blue roses to declare his love! One cannot bring a message of love in the blues…”—Derek Jarman, Chroma
