Drawing as Thinking...
"We should talk less and draw more. I personally would like to renounce speech altogether and, like organic nature, communicate everything I have to say in sketches"
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Goethe rejected Wave and Particle theories that explain the science of colour. According to Goethe, "Newton's error... was trusting math over the sensations of his eye."
—Jonah Lehrer, Goethe and Color, December 7, 2006 [2]
Goethe outlines his method in the essay, The experiment as mediator between subject and object (1772). It underscores his experiential standpoint. "The human being himself, to the extent that he makes sound use of his senses, is the most exact physical apparatus that can exist." (Goethe, Scientific Studies[8])
