Arshile Gorky is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Arshile Gorky carry the compositional weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. Arshile Gorky gives 25.2% of the composition to a single #CCCFCB - a decisive chromatic anchor. The most saturated colour, #974729, is reserved to 2.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 58 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Arshile Gorky's complete body of work advances.
