A Cultural History of Color in the Age of Enlightenment covers the
period 1650 to 1800. From the Baroque to the Neo-classical, color
transformed art, architecture, ceramics, jewelry, and glass.
Newton, using a prism, demonstrated the seven separate hues, which
encouraged the development of color wheels and tables, and the
increased standardization of color names. Technological advances in
color printing resulted in superb maps and anatomical and botanical
images. Identity and wealth were signalled with color, in uniforms,
flags, and fashion. And the growth of empires, trade, and slavery
encouraged new ideas about color. 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.
