Key quotes

The role it plays in the novel.

  • "...He brought art out of an airless studio and back to life. He made it immediate...made it exciting and real. He used time and space and wind and rain and fire. He strapped a canvas to the roof of his car and drove to the beach and let the weather make his art for him." -Thurston
  • "...Yves Klein died suddenly...Only 34. His friends thought he had burned himself up and left nothing left but a great vacuum. He was a comet some said, whose path thorugh life was traced by the scorched and empty space he left behind" -Iris

‘Fire colour one’ is of great importance within the story because it is the symbol for the main ideas and themes.

The painting plays more than one role in the novel, which are:

-The prize

At the end of the book, once Ernest is dead and gone, it is revealed that ‘Fire Colour One’ is the only painting of the 47 Ernest owned that was of any material value.

-The distraction

The painting draws our attention away from the plot twist at the end of the novel.

-The Main Idea/Symbol

The painting is partly made to represent the artist who created it and what his values are. (See ‘Ideas painting portrays’)

-The Differentiator

It shows the differences in ideas between Hannah and Iris. It puts Iris’s idea in a positive light, and Hannah’s in a negative light
