COLOUR IN ART (WORLD OF ART ) (PB)

The phenomenon of colour has received detailed attention from the perspectives of physics, chemistry, physiology, psychology, linguistics and philosophy. However, the people who work most intimately with colour - artists - had rarely been canvassed for their opinions on the subject. John Gage set out to address this omission by focusing on the thoughts and practices of artists including Wassily Kandinsky, Vincent van Gogh, Sonia Delaunay, Bridget Riley and Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri. Features a new foreword by art writer Kelly Grovier outlining contemporary developments in the study of colour, and an updated bibliography.
