Heightened tones
When color shouts: expressionist color photography tips tones into the glaring, the feverish, the overheated. Expressionist color ink photographs are for sale for anyone deliberately looking for a picture with temperature.
Here colors are not depicted but raised: an evening sky in ember red, skin in violet, water in poison green. Pigment ink can print such tones strongly, and on matte papers they still keep a trace of velvet.

Handling the force
A sheet this strong in color needs a room that follows it or holds back. White walls, black frames and little decoration around let the color speak without crowding it.
Notes on durability
Intense colors show light damage sooner. Ask about pigmented ink and UV-protective glass, and do not hang the sheet in direct sun. The edition, its number and the signature ought to be spelled out plainly. With a picture this charged, it helps to look at it for several days before deciding. What still has force after a week will not become dull after years either. Meanwhile, check the edition and the number of the print.
