I walk through some of most revered and respected museums in the world and
I am saddened by the way these works of art, created by men who truly had a
god given gift, are disguised, defaced and cheapened by the way they are
presented.  Surely the people responsible for the display and preservation
of these masterpieces most always be looking for the proper balance of
showing the true beauty and genius without causing undue harm.  Where are
the motion sensors to dim the lighting when no one is present in the rooms?
 These are the same types of sensors found in bathrooms (do we care more
about the porcelain for our toilet bowls?) and outdoor spot lights.

As to the fundamental understanding of light and color, where is the
natural lighting?  Fluorescent lights are the equivalent to viewing the
world through a T.V. screen, and incandescent or halogen lights are not
much better, case in point, if you have ever tried selecting colors under
these lights you probably confused black for blue, tan for green, peach for
pink.  Color and its interaction with light is too important a relationship
not to understand and it is such a simple concept if one takes time to
comprehend it.  If you don't know why educate yourself.  I have traveled
all over the world teaching a simple concept.  From the comfort of my home
and yours I can now begin to explain the fundamentals of color and light
through the net.  Visiting the web site
http://www.vivanet.com/~kevlight/edu1.htm will be a step towards
understanding the interaction between light and color. Your responsibility
to honor the artists who left their life's work to be enjoyed by
generations is enormous.
