The value structure of Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The most saturated colour, #AE956E, is reserved to 10.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 56 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait's complete body of work advances.
