RED BLENKO RUBY

BLENKO RUBY - There is nothing more beautiful!

One of the most dynamic colors is also the oldest color used by humans: red.

Prehistoric horses drawn in red pigment gallop across the ancient cave walls in Lascaux, France. To poets, it is the color of passions; to seafarers, it is an omen: "Red sky at night, sailor's delight; Red sky at morning, sailors take warning." Throughout its long history, red has been associated with highly charged emotions and a sense of urgency. Today, red still commands the attention of motorist and pedestrians at traffic lights.

In the world of glass art - its the same - some are put off by the same assertiveness that makes red effective in controlling traffic. Others embrace the challenge of working with such a vibrant exciting lure. Pure, primary red sends out a clear signal that say, "STOP! Look at ME!"
