A beautifully presented survey of design and the applied arts,
explored not by use, material, form or date - but by colour The
V&A Book of Colour in Design is attractively simple: a
celebration and exploration of colour, as revealed through objects
in the world-class collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in
London. Structured by colour, it offers fascinating insights into
the choices made by designers and makers from across the world and
throughout history. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction
that considers the history, symbolism, and use of an individual
colour. Objects - from items of jewelry, textiles, glassware and
ceramics to furniture and more - are reproduced in a visual
selection that explores the varied hues of every colour. However
different objects within each section may be in their detail and
meaning, they are united by their common colour, revealing
surprising connections between them. Throughout, narrative captions
bring together disparate items from across the V&A's collection
to explore the universal significance of colour in art and design.
Beautifully designed, this highly visual, colour-led survey of
design and the applied arts is a compelling sourcebook with broad
appeal for anyone interested or involved in all aspects of visual
culture.
