“Everything which is alive reflects color and every reflection is a vibration. Hence, if one wishes to produce this living vibration one must resort to the use of pure basic colors and “build” with them in such a manner as to give this living effect and vibrancy.”

Nicolai Fechin, quoted in Marry N. Balcomb, Nicolai Fechin, San Cristobal, New Mexico, 1975, p. 16

    Well, he sure succeeded at that “living vibration,” didn’t he? The Earth-connected, uncomplex yet, in its very essence, refined vigor of peasant beingness practically reaches up off this painting and muscles you down into it! And you’re happy to be there with them!
