Description: | Following a visit to Italy, Collins produced some brilliantly coloured paintings. Bright and vivid colours in European art are linked with strong feelings and emotions, for example red can be used to express anger, and green to represent growth and learning. Artists in the past were trained in a very strict and scientific way, learning how to create specific effects using certain colours in different combinations. Theories of colour were invented by talented men such as the great English scientist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton and the brilliant German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
