THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A mind-expanding tour of the world
without leaving your paintbox. Every colour has a story, and here
are some of the most alluring, alarming, and thought-provoking.
Very hard painting the hallway magnolia after this inspiring
primer.' Simon Garfield The Secret Lives of Colour tells the
unusual stories of the 75 most fascinating shades, dyes and hues.
From blonde to ginger, the brown that changed the way battles were
fought to the white that protected against the plague, Picasso's
blue period to the charcoal on the cave walls at Lascaux, acid
yellow to kelly green, and from scarlet women to imperial purple,
these surprising stories run like a bright thread throughout
history. In this book Kassia St Clair has turned her lifelong
obsession with colours and where they come from (whether Van Gogh's
chrome yellow sunflowers or punk's fluorescent pink) into a unique
study of human civilisation. Across fashion and politics, art and
war, The Secret Lives of Colour tell the vivid story of our
culture.
