success at every step.
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.
