Frances to Armando and other visual artists out there... Let me try to rewrite the question, because it may be a little hazy. If the question is correctly understood by me, you seem to be asking whether the depiction of gravity in a picture, either abstractly implied or actually illustrated, will affect the sensed existence of color in that same picture. You are presumably not referring to the presence of actual gravity on the earth to which the framed picture and the material color in it would be pulled towards. You are rather presumably referring to the illusory effect of implied gravity on the phenomenal appearance of color that actually seems to exist in the picture. Perhaps you could correct or confirm some of this. You wrote... I guess, what i'm trying to find out is... is color always affected by Gravity in it's existence in painting?
