This edition includes a translator's preface, note on the text, and
suggestions for further reading.
The book investigates the use of colour in art through artistic
movements and research that stand apart from canonical histories on
colour and abstraction, with multiple accounts relating to memory,
politics, spirituality, storytelling, psychology and synesthesia By
analysing the different colour theories that gradually took shape
in the turbulent socio-political context that characterised the
20th century, Emotions of Color in Art reflects on a perspective
that considers light, its vibrations and the world of emotions,
while challenging the standardisation of the use of colour in the
modern age (synthetic colours) and the digital era (RGB colours
offered by various online palettes), a levelling that considerably
reduces our ability to distinguish colours in the real world.
Over the last four decades video art has undergone numerous
transformations. If in its early years, during the mid sixties,
video was used by artists to record performances created in an
isolated studio, it also offered an important creative environment
which defined new spaces and an alternative language to the mass
codes used by television. In the `80s video took on the form of a
projected image that was capable of defining a totally new type of
space inside which spectators could move while surrounded by a
hypnotic electronic embrace. More recently with digital technology
artists can compete with the magic of cinema and develop a
singularly fertile exchange with it that has been fundamental in
developing the poetic language of video works today.
