Verano (Summer from the color field SOHO series) 1967

Cesar Paternosto made this orange and yellow painting, *Verano*, as part of the *Color Field SOHO series*. It’s all about how colors talk to each other, you know? The colors are layered so delicately, it’s like they’re whispering secrets. Look at the orange, how it sits right next to that yellow. You can see that the paint is thin, almost transparent, which lets the colors underneath peek through. It reminds me that art is a process, not just an object. Focus on where the colors meet. The edges aren’t perfect, but that’s what makes it so interesting. It’s like life – messy and beautiful all at once. This reminds me of Josef Albers and his *Homage to the Square* series, where he kept exploring color relationships, too. Art isn’t about answers; it’s about asking questions and keeping the conversation going.
