JKP - I appreciate your difficulty.
I shouldn't like to have to paint the phrase "appreciate your difficulty" - very difficult bit of translation.
However, I had expected the qualifications to be obvious and perhaps I shouldn't have.
Creatures other than humans make pictures, and some humans who make pictures cannot speak, or cannot hear, or both.
Those apart... the statement stands. And yes, of course there have been studies done, as on the psychology of music, colour, music+colour, music AS colour and just about every permutation you care to name. Some people don't enjoy that sort of study, and the unit isn't obligatory, but very informative.
Perhaps to see how dependent you are on words, try acting out making a picture yourself ... - say a dog running across some grass - and so without thinking of the word for anything in the picture, any of your equipment, pigments, their colours and so on.
Did you know that the background of a medieval illuminated picture was called the 'throne'? Or that the reason the flower which the Spanish called 'estrella' has that name is said to be that it opens with the sun but remains closed if the sun is hidden behind clouds. Not exactly a logical explanation when you think about it, is it?
And since we're talking about words and pictures... what do you think.. June or Luna?
