Oscar Bluemner was fascinated with the formal, emotional, and spiritual qualities of strong color. He dubbed himself the "Vermillionaire" in reference to his reliance on bright red hues for his houses and barns. He explored his color theories in angular, brightly colored landscapes, abstracted from nature. James St. Place exemplifies the artist's love affair with his 'Bluemner Reds.'
