Color Perception in Art

Summary: Color Story
Review: A color may be a specific mix of dyes or pigments, but that may not be how it looks when seen or when remembered as afterimages. While in charge of Gobelin's dyestuffs and coloring, color theorist M.E. Chevreul saw that tapestry blacks looking black depended upon contrast with nearby colors. All 19th- and 20th-century artists have been sorting out COLOR PERCEPTION IN ART form, pattern, and design. Joseph Mallory Turner ended up being the greatest influence through it all, because of the spectrum he learned from Claude Lorrain's luminous sunsets and Moses Harris's pioneer printed full hue color circle. Author Faber Birren includes studies on how chromatic illumination, iridescence, luminosity, luster, and transparency affect color hues, tints, and tones. His unique book and William Gaunt's TURNER are learning experiences that make for smooth reading of Jim Ames' COLOR THEORY MADE EASY, Albert Handell's INTUITIVE LIGHT, Johannes Itten's THE ART OF COLOR, Trevor Lamb's COLOUR, Charles LeClair's COLOR IN CONTEMPORARY PAINTING, or Stephen Quiller's COLOR CHOICES.
