Re: double take on tricolor
I like to print with what I call "oblique colors" (opposite to "orthogonal",
i.e. "complementary" colors). I begun this way with a very simple picture (a
landscape, see "Pratopiazza" in my page), and trying to further simplify it
I selected with Photoshop the 3 main color zones: sky, meadow, and shadow.
Then I printed them with cyan, green and black layers. This is a 3 color
gum, but I don't believe it is fitting your definition...

For clarity, I should amend that to read "at least three layers of gum"
because I agree with Marek's note in the traveling portfolio, suggesting
that a tricolor gum can have more than three layers as long as the layers
are printed from three color separations. In other words, one of the
layers could be printed more than once for color balance or whatever, but
even though there are technically four layers of gum, there are still
only three negatives, three colors, and the print is still a tricolor
gum.
