Artists chose secular themes.
Someone once asked Mark Rothko how he chose his colors, and he replied "Not color, but measures." I am pretty sure he would say that he does not think of colors as symbolic in the slightest when he's painting.
There are many ways to decide on a color palette for a room. Many people chose favorite colors, for example with childrens rooms. Others tend to go with a theme, or base it off favorite colors. Some people simply choose colors that will brighten an otherwise dark room.
A Swiss-born painter and graphic artist whose personal, often gently humorous works are replete with allusions to dreams, music, and poetry, '''Paul Klee, b. Dec. 18, 1879, d. June 29, 1940, is difficult to classify.''' Primitive art, surrealism, cubism, and children's art all seem blended into his small-scale, delicate paintings, watercolors, and drawings. Klee grew up in a musical family and was himself a violinist. After much hesitation he chose to study art, not music, and he attended the Munich Academy in 1900. There his teacher was the popular symbolist and society painter Franz von STUCK. Klee later toured Italy (1901-02), responding enthusiastically to Early Christian and Byzantine art. Klee's early works are mostly etchings and pen-and-ink drawings. These combine satirical, grotesque, and surreal elements and reveal the influence of Francisco de Goya and James Ensor, both of whom Klee admired. Two of his best-known etchings, dating from 1903, are Virgin in a Tree and Two Men Meet, Each Believing the Other to Be of Higher Rank. Such peculiar, evocative titles are characteristic of Klee and give his works an added dimension of meaning.
