Colours of Art takes the reader on a journey through history via 80
carefully curated artworks and their palettes. For these pieces,
colour is not only a tool (like a paintbrush or a canvas) but the
fundamental secret to their success. Colour allows artists to
express their individuality, evoke certain moods and portray
positive or negative subliminal messages. And throughout history
the greatest of artists have experimented with new pigments and new
technologies to lead movements and deliver masterpieces. But as
something so cardinal, we sometimes forget how poignant colour
palettes can be, and how much they can tell us. When Vermeer
painted The Milkmaid, the amount of ultramarine he could use was
written in the contract. How did that affect how he used it? When
Turner experimented with Indian Yellow, he captured roaring flames
that brought his paintings to life. If he had used a more ordinary
yellow, would he have created something so extraordinary? And how
did Warhol throw away the rulebook to change what colour could
achieve? Structured chronologically, Colours of Art provides a fun,
intelligent and visually engaging look at the greatest artistic
palettes in art history - from Rafael's use of perspective and
Vermeer's ultramarine, to Andy Warhol's hot pinks and Lisa Brice's
blue women. Colours of Art offers a refreshing take on the subject
and acts as a primer for artists, designers and art lovers who want
to look at art history from a different perspective.
Encompassing experimental film and video, essay film, gallery-based
installation art, and digital art, Jihoon Kim establishes the
concept of hybrid moving images as an array of impure images shaped
by the encounters and negotiations between different media, while
also using it to explore various theoretical issues, such as
stillness and movement, indexicality, abstraction, materiality,
afterlives of the celluloid cinema, archive, memory, apparatus, and
the concept of medium as such. Grounding its study in
interdisciplinary framework of film studies, media studies, and
contemporary art criticism, Between Film, Video, and the Digital
offers a fresh insight on the post-media conditions of film and
video under the pervasive influences of digital technologies, as
well as on the crucial roles of media hybridity in the creative
processes of giving birth to the emerging forms of the moving
image. Incorporating in-depth readings of recent works by more than
thirty artists and filmmakers, including Jim Campbell, Bill Viola,
Sam Taylor-Johnson, David Claerbout, Fiona Tan, Takeshi Murata,
Jennifer West, Ken Jacobs, Christoph Girardet and Matthias Muller,
Hito Steyerl, Lynne Sachs, Harun Farocki, Doug Aitken, Douglas
Gordon, Stan Douglas, Candice Breitz, among others, the book is the
essential scholarly monograph for understanding how digital
technologies simultaneously depend on and differ film previous
time-based media, and how this juncture of similarities and
differences signals a new regime of the art of the moving image.
