Aurora Per 3 Daily Color Progression By Alfred Jensen

Aurora Per 3 Daily Color Progression by Alfred Jensen was the work that appealed to me the most as I walked through the galleries. The high contrast within the piece is what stood out the most, especially the stark straight line in the middle of the composition separating black from white. I found it kind of odd that this painting caught my eye because I'm typically drawn to works that use a lot of color, but I liked the way the limited color palette lent itself to making the colors that were used, stand out. The contrast aided the piece in being complementary in proportion and color palette, and my eye was drawn to the use of secondary colors green and orange as a way to bring attention to the words which themselves complement and contrast
