Colour And Culture
Describes the first three theories of color, articulated by philosophers from Democritus to Aristotle, as well as attempts to organize it or endow it with symbolic power. This book presents an analysis of the spectrum undertaken by Newton and continued by artists such as Seurat, and the use of the artists palette as an evolving scale of tones.
