Wild and vibrant, pink can also be as subtle and ethereal as the inside of a shell... Above: Found on a quiet beach in Baja Mexico. Above: Christopher Wool, "Untitled", 2005. Wool is represented by Luhring Augustine Gallery. Above: From House Beautiful, this is painted in Valspar's Paris Pink.

Above: John Graham, "Profile and Hat", 1942 at the Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian Museum. John Graham, originally named Ivan Dombrowski, was born in Warsaw. He was 34 years old when he came to New York in 1920. He has a colorful history, exaggerating his aristocratic connections, and influencing such artists as Arshile Gorky, Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. You can read more about John Graham here. Delicate and ephemeral.... From Domino magazine Jan/Feb 2006 Photo by Mikkel Vang/Styling Christine Rudolph. The black centers give depth to the pale petals. Above: At Dosa, Cotton and silk clothing colored in delicate seashell pinks. Christina Kim of Dosa told me that the color comes from washing whites together with "sadhu" cloth. This is the orange cloth the sahdus of India wear to signify their renunciation of the world around them. Above: Colors for a painting of this coral. Above: I photographed this piece at a Claremont Graduate University MFA open studio show last spring. The artist is Thinh Nguyen. Above: Do-Ho Suh, "Staircase" 2003. Faded pink set off with brown... Above: The Serpentine Dance, recorded by the Lumiere Brothers in 1896 of dancer Loie Fuller. It was hand tinted frame by frame, and released in 1899. It's amazing to see the way she moves the fabric around her. Above: Henri Matisse (1869-1954), "The Rose Marble Table"1917. This piece was included in the recent exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, "Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913-1917". Above: Edouard Manet, "Branches de Pivoines Blanches et Secateur", 1864, from the Musee D'Orsay. Here the pink is so pale as to be almost white. Above: In Wes Anderson's film The Royal Tenenbaums, pink could be listed as a character. The central hallway is painted a rich bubble gum pink, a wonderful backdrop for the framed children's drawings. It plays a part in every scene as pink constantly orients you when you see it through an open door. Many scenes takes place on the stairs and in the ballroom, also pink, so it is a frequent backdrop to the action. In addition Pagoda, Royal Tenenbaum's butler and companion is generally seen in a white top with bright pink pants, Royal wears a pink shirt in a number of scenes, or sometimes a pale pink bathrobe, Etheline wears a pale pink suit or a pale pink coat and Margot and Royal go for ice cream to a beautiful pale pink and mint green restaurant. Pink is woven through almost every scene in the film. The pictures here give a sense of the hallway and ballroom, though the color is darker than it appears in the film. Above: Domino Magazine created a room inspired by The Royal Tenenbaums in their Jan/Feb 2006 issue. The paint they chose for the walls is Regal AquaPearl latex in Authentic Pink. Above: From Elle Decor, this is the card room in the Sag Harbor home of designer Steven Gambrel. Pink is a terrific backdrop. This pink is made cool because it has a lot of blue in it. Above: This shade of pink gives a warm feeling to the room, and picks up on the most faded parts of its antique carpets. It's by homeowner and designer Christophe Gollut, from the book "Color in Decoration" by Annie Sloan and Kate Gwynn, published by Little, Brown. There are three shades of a warm pink in the room; the walls. the sofa, and the deep burgundy of the armchair, which contrasts beautifully with the blue gray woodwork. Above: An interior by Luis Barragan using a slightly darker pink similar to the one used on the walls in the room above. Above: From House Beautiful. Coral pink paint, (Farrow and Ball's "Red Earth"), is made modern because of the unexpected glossy finish, the solid blue gray carpet, and the furnishings. Above: All it takes is a few pink flowers to enliven this room. (via Light Locations) Above: A selection of pink linens. If walls in pink are too much, perhaps a sofa or drapery or a single chair might be desirable. I like linens to be pre-washed, softened. Linen takes color very well, and there are subtle unusual colors to be found.

Above: Vanessa Bell, "View of the Pond at Charleston". Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant leased Charleston in 1917, so this was painted sometime after that. Above: From Domino magazine, April 2007.

It has one more stop in the spring in NYC. Above: In a bedroom designed by Muriel Brandolini for her daughter, from the book "Rooms to Inspire" by Annie Kelly, published by Rizzoli. The way she changes colors vertically on the wall IS quite inspiring. Above: This photo, "Central Park Trees" by James Estrin is from the New York Times. The person walking below in a yellow historical outfit that gives the picture a focus. The last trip I took with my mom before she passed away we went to this spot, the Conservatory Garden. The photo was published on April 17 2006, just about a week after she passed away. It was a lovely thing to see. Above: Maira Kalman, "Pink Package" 2004-5. This painting, as well as the actual package she based it on, are both in the current show. She always uses gouache. When I went to her talk at the Skirball someone asked why she used it...she said it was because it dries so fast. I think it must have something to do with the matte finish and the saturated color as well. Above: Pink and red are so dynamic and satisfying when used together. This is from Domino magazine, October 2006. The pink wall is painted with Benjamin Moore Pink Petals #2085-60, and the red with Benjamin Moore Red Tulip #2000-30. Above: The E.A. Seguy book includes pages with holes cut out so you can see how the colors interact. Above: Polly Apfelbaum "Pink Crush" 2007. This is from a group show at a gallery in Mumbai, Galerie Mirchandani. The show is titled "Pink". Above: James Turrell, "The Wolfsburg Project", 2010. This is Turrell's largest walk-through light installation. Above: Philip Guston, "Painter's Table" 1973. Pink was a very important color to Guston...it feels as though it has a darker quality in his work. Above: Wall in Antigua Above: Mark Rothko (1903-1970), #16, 1960 Above: By Andrew Masullo Above: Pygmy seahorse hiding in coral in Indonesia. Above: Henri Matisse (1869-1954), "Palme Noir Sur Fond Rose", 1947. The dark pink is a lovely foil for the black. Above: Siddhartha, book designed by Alvin Lustig, which uses pink, red, and black. Black really sharpens pink and makes it a more aggressive color. Above: Irving Penn cover of Vogue July 1952 Above: Andy Warhol uses pink, red, and black in this glamorous shoe illustration. He was quite successful as a magazine and advertising illustrator before he became a fine artist. Above: Andy Warhol, "Marilyn Monroe", 1967. Above: The New York Dolls album cover. You can see the pink on the lips is lifted from Warhol. The shifting of balance towards black completely changes the connotation of the colors. Above: Kay Thompson's book about Eloise, a little girl living at the Plaza hotel, where Kay Thompson lived herself. Eloise was inspired by Liza Minnelli, her god-daughter, the daughter of Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli. Kay Thompson is also an actress in the movie Funny Face...you can see her in one of the photos from the film below. Above and Below: Images from "Funny Face". The musical number "Think Pink" is a tribute to pink. Kay Thompson, (author of Eloise), shown above in gray, plays Maggie Prescott. Her character is based on Harpers and Vogue Editor Diana Vreeland, who is known to have said "Pink is the navy of India". Jacqueline Kennedy kept that in mind when she visited Jaipur...

Above: Although pink is more commonly associated with clothing there's something wonderful about seeing it used on architecture. This is a villa in Venice. Above: The Doges Palace, Piazza San Marco, Venice, covered in pink and white marble. Above: In Jaipur, referred to as "The Pink City" because in 1876 all the buildings were painted pink, the color of hospitality, in honor of a visit from the Prince of Wales. All buildings painted within the old city are still required to be pink. The Hawa Mahal shown here is a spectacular structure, built in 1799 to allow the ladies of the court to watch Royal processions. The pyramid shape of the Hawa Mahal gives it an appearance of the crown that adorned the head of Lord Krishna. Above: A view of the Hawa Mahal from the back. Above: Sunrise in Jaipur. This is a view of the Jal Mahal, or Water Palace. Above: In Burano the houses are painted in an array of brilliant colors...I thought it might just be one street, but when I saw it in person I could see that it extends throughout the island. Burano is famous for lace making...it seems like a wonderful way to spend time; sitting in the colorful street with friends making lace and chatting. Above: Convent Street in Peru Above: Luis Barragan's "Cuadra San Cristobal", or Stable of Saint Cristobal, 1967-68. Above and Below: In Santa Marta favela, a slum in Rio, two Dutch artists, Dre Urhahn and Jeroen Koolhaas, have revitalized the area through the use of paint. They worked with local youth, and Brazilian paint company Coral, to paint 34 buildings, creating a fantastically exciting environment, bringing attention to the area, and training the kids in a marketable skill.

Stieler Joseph Karl Portrait of the Galerie of beauties. Marie of Prussia (German: Marie Friederike Franziska Hedwig von Preußen; October 15, 1825 - May 17, 1889) was Queen of Bavaria, and the mother of kings Ludwig II and Otto. Born and raised in Berlin, she was the daughter of Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, a younger brother of King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia, and his wife Marie Anna of Hesse-Homburg. On October 12, 1842, she married the Crown Prince, and later King of Bavaria, Maximilian II. Marie was loved equally by both the Evangelical and Roman Catholic populations. (At that time, Prussia was mostly Lutheran, whilst Bavaria was mostly Roman Catholic.) A specific emphasis of her 'great social engagement' was a reactivation of the Bavarian Women's Association, which took place on December 18, 1869 with the aid of her son, Ludwig II. Its aim was "Pflege und Unterstützung der im Felde verwundeten und erkrankten Krieger" (Care and support of soldiers wounded and injured in the field). The Bavarian Red Cross was officially founded as a result of the Bavarian Women's Association. The Red Cross eventually took over for the Queen. With the sudden death of Maximilian II on March 10, 1864, Marie became a widow. On October 12, 1874, she converted to Roman Catholicism. In later years, she lived a secluded existence at her country estate in Elbigenalp in the Lechtal Alps and at Schloss Hohenschwangau near Füssen. Marie outlived her elder son, Ludwig II, by several years. He died on June 13, 1886. Marie died in 1889 in Hohenschwangau. She is interred in the Theatinerkirche in a side chapel opposite her husband.
