Giving an overview of the history of color theory from ancient and
classical cultures to contemporary contexts, this book explores
important critical principles and provides practical guidance on
the use of color in art and design. Going beyond a simple
recitation of what has historically been said about color, artist
and educator Aaron Fine provides an intellectual history,
critiquing prevailing Western ideas on the subject and challenging
assumptions. He analyses colonialist and gendered attitudes,
materialist and romanticist perspectives, spiritualist approaches
to color, color in the age of reproduction, and modernist and
post-modernist color strategies. Highlighted throughout are
examples of the ways in which attitudes towards color have been
impacted by the legacy of colonialism and are tied up with race,
gender, and class. Topics covered include color models, wheels and
charts, color interaction and theories of perception, with over 150
images throughout. By placing under-examined tenets of color theory
such as the color wheel and color primaries within the Western
industrial context that generated them, Fine helps you to connect
color choices to color meanings and apply theory to practice.
