EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Andy Crawford, we are presented with a fascinating visual representation of the subtractive process. The image showcases three disks, each adorned in vibrant green, red, and blue colors. These disks serve as filters containing pigments that absorb specific hues from the white light passing through them. As we delve into the world of science and physics, these colored filters offer us an intriguing glimpse into how light interacts with matter. By absorbing certain colors from the electromagnetic spectrum, these pigments alter the composition of white light and create new shades. The primary colors - green, red, and blue - play a crucial role in this experiment. As they combine or subtract from one another when mixed together or passed through filters like those depicted here. This mesmerizing display not only highlights the beauty found within scientific experiments but also serves as a reminder of our ability to manipulate light to create stunning visuals. Through understanding concepts such as additive and subtractive processes, we gain insight into how color is perceived by our eyes and interpreted by our brains. Andy Crawford's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both the aesthetic appeal and educational value present in this photograph. It invites us to explore further into the realm of pigments, light absorption, and color theory while marveling at their undeniable allure.
