A star curator at the American Museum of Natural History widens the
palette and shows how the physical, natural, and cultural context
of color are inextricably tied to what we see right before our
eyes. Is color a phenomenon of science or a thing of art? Over the
years, color has dazzled, enhanced, and clarified the world we see,
embraced through the experimental palettes of painting, the advent
of the color photograph, Technicolor pictures, color printing, on
and on, a vivid and vibrant celebrated continuum. These turns to
represent reality in "living color" echo our evolutionary reliance
on and indeed privileging of color as a complex and vital form of
consumption, classification, and creation. It's everywhere we look,
yet do we really know much of anything about it? Finding color in
stars and light, examining the system of classification that
determines survival through natural selection, studying the arrival
of color in our universe and as a fulcrum for philosophy, DeSalle's
brilliant A Natural History of Color establishes that an
understanding of color on many different levels is at the heart of
learning about nature, neurobiology, individualism, even a
philosophy of existence. Color and a fine tuned understanding of it
is vital to understanding ourselves and our consciousness.
