Description
"This book explores the history of our understanding of color from the ancient world to the present, from Aristotle to Albers. Interspersed in the historical story are thematic essays that explore how color has been used across a wide range of disciplines and fields: in belief, commerce, language, nature, food, wellness, printing, and music. Many of the illustrations are drawn from the Royal College of Art's renowned Colour Reference Library, which spans six centuries of works and nearly 2,000 titles, form a Gothic manuscript on the composition of the rainbow to hand-painted Enlightenment works on color theory and vibrant twentieth-century color charts"--Back cover.
