A Cultural History of Color in the Age of Industry covers the
period 1800 to 1920, when the world embraced color like never
before. Inventions, such as steam power, lithography, photography,
electricity, motor cars, aviation, and cheaper color printing, all
contributed to a new exuberance about color. Available pigments and
colored products - made possible by new technologies, industrial
manufacturing, commercialization, and urbanization - also greatly
increased, as did illustrated printed literature for the mass
market. Color, both literally and metaphorically, was splashed
around, and became an expressive tool for artists, designers, and
writers. Color shapes an individual's experience of the world and
also how society gives particular spaces, objects, and moments
meaning. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Color examines
how color has been created, traded, used, and interpreted over the
last 5000 years. The themes covered in each volume are color
philosophy and science; color technology and trade; power and
identity; religion and ritual; body and clothing; language and
psychology; literature and the performing arts; art; architecture
and interiors; and artefacts. Alexandra Loske is Curator at the
Royal Pavilion and Museums, Brighton, UK Volume 5 in the Cultural
History of Color set. General Editors: Carole P. Biggam and Kirsten
Wolf
