A Cultural History of Color presents a history of 5000 years of
color in western culture. The first systematic and comprehensive
history, the work examines how color has been perceived, developed,
produced and traded, and how it has been used in all aspects of
performance - from the political to the religious to the artistic -
and how it shapes all we see, from food and nature to interiors and
architecture, to objects and art, to fashion and adornment, to the
color of the naked human body, and to the way our minds work and
our languages are created. Chapter titles are identical across each
of the volumes. This gives the choice of reading about a specific
period in one of the volumes, or following a theme across history
by reading the relevant chapter in each of the six. The themes (and
chapter titles) 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; Artefacts. The six volumes
cover: 1 – Antiquity (3,000 BCE to 500 CE); 2 – Medieval Age
(500 to 1400); 3 – Renaissance (1400 to 1650); 4 – Age of
Enlightenment (1650 to 1800); 5 – Age of Industry (1800 to 1920);
6 – Modern Age (1920 to the present). The page extent for the
pack is approximately 1760pp. Each volume opens with Notes on
Contributors and an Introduction and concludes with Notes,
Bibliography, and an Index. The Cultural Histories Series A
Cultural History of Color is part of The Cultural Histories Series.
