"The human being is the most exalted, indeed the true subject of visual art." -- J. W.

The Art of Colour and the Human Form presents the seven motif sketches concerned with the "spirit form of the human being," as well as numerous studies that Gerard Wagner painted over a period of thirty years. The intention of this volume is to present an artistic approach to these unique motifs and to indicate their potential "color build-up." The Art of Colour and the Human Form contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of this new direction in art.
