This comprehensive, illustrated guide demonstrates how color--through different periods, cultures, and artistic movements--has been used in art: from the black, red, and white pigments first used in prehistoric cave paintings to the muted tones of Gabonese Punu masks replete with spiritual significance, or from Andy Warhol's \u003ci\u003eGold Marilyn Monroe\u003c\/i\u003e with its flashy hues borrowed from the advertising world to the signature \u003ci\u003eoutrenoir\u003c\/i\u003e (beyond black) of the late Pierre Soulages. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom oil painting to optical art, this international history of color unfurls over thirty major periods in the development of color in the arts, elucidating their characteristics, key works, and exponents. The symbolism given to a particular color and how such associations have evolved over time is revealed. A gallery of sixty works that are remarkable for their extraordinary use of color includes the explosion of light emanating from Joseph Mallord William Turner's \u003ci\u003eLight and Colour (Goethe's Theory)\u003c\/i\u003e, the fleeting moments of dawn depicted with broken brushstrokes and colorful intensity in Monet's \u003ci\u003eImpression, Sunrise\u003c\/i\u003e, and the acidulous tones of David Hockney's portrait \u003ci\u003eMy Parents\u003c\/i\u003e. A final chapter examines the materials and techniques used to achieve chromatic effects. Complete with extensive cross-references, this accessible guide allows readers to discover more about a particular movement, theme, or technique, and offers an enlightening and polychromatic overview to the history of color in art.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCamille Vi騅ille\u003c\/b\u003e is an art historian and coauthor of\u003ci\u003e The Trouble with Women Artists: Reframing the History of Art\u003c\/i\u003e (Flammarion, 2019).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.4 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 24, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51764800946464,"sku":"9782080422002","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/28ef7d6e7558c97c2c3286aff46ec607.webp?v=1780255069","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/color-a-master-class-art-history-masterpieces-symbolism-techniques-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
