ABOUT COLOUR: In her latest book artist Marguerite Anne Muller takes us on an exploration into colour. Anne has for many years been using colour to describe relationships between people, within families, between couples, between parents and children, teachers and pupils... She starts by describing the characteristics of colours, how they respond to each other and relate to us. She continues on to reveal how colours influence our attitudes, behaviour and relationships. From the refreshing viewpoint of an artist Anne enables us to see or sense the colours that emanate from us and surround us and helps us to recognise and interpret them. The reasons for the compatibility of some of our relationships and the dysfunction of others becomes clearer and we are given the language and tools for healing our relationships, enhancing our own apparent and hidden qualities, and maturing into sane, balanced and aware human beings. Colour talks to us of worlds below the human level and worlds that are above: of Ariel and Caliban, with Prospero between the two. Painters used to help us find our humanity through the use of colour.
