EXCELLANT SOURCE FOR ARTISTS ON COLOR AND PALETTE DEVELOPMEN
7 Mar 1999
Format:Hardcover
This book is an excellant source of palette development, pigment uses and development as well as color theories throughout history. My students have worn out my copy -- needs to be reprinted and made known in college art departments. Good, solid informational writing and illustrations. A must-have book for artists and students. D. Swaim, Prof., M.C.C., Arizona

pretty complete
11 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
This book shows you all you want to know about colours. It's not truly scientific but it showed me the best and most of colour-theory. I had some trouble with the science-language but hey, I'm Dutch, not a native "American" speaker! The only thing that I would change in this book is more pictures, and all in colour!

A significant work on color
13 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I can't say much about this book because I am continually blown away by the dense, complete and inspirational writings on color. The examples are stunning. I use them as color studies in my work. I copy out passages in to my artist books. I share what I read with my friends who are similarly intrigued by color. As an artist, this book is a valuable resource. I recommend it highly to anyone who is interested in the history of how we see and think about color.
