The most vital recent information on the relationship of visual
perception to color expression in art is presented here in clear
detail. Faber Birren, one of the best-known colorists of our time,
prepares us for what he believes will be a new era of color
expression. Pioneered by gestalt psychology many secrets of the
brain are rapidly being discovered, resulting in creative new
principles of color. The book is divided into three sections. First
the history of nineteenth-and twentieth-century color expression is
traced from Turner through Impressionism to Op Art. Next the
parallel history of color theory is covered. Finally, the new
concepts and interpretations of illumination, color constancy,
adaptation, and the Law of Field Size, which created a revolution
in the possibilities of color expression in art and their aesthetic
implications, are discussed. These sections are supplemented by
numerous black and white photographs of representative paintings,
explanatory line drawings and the abstract, geometric color plates
themselves-of the incomparable beauty and quality that are the
hallmark of Faber Birren.
