Download or read book Color Space and Creativity written by Jack Stewart and published by Associated University Presse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study of Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, Joyce Cary, Lawrence Durrell, and A. S. Byatt focuses on color, space, and creativity in selected novels, stories, travel texts, essays, and letters." "Stewart highlights a nexus of color, space, and creativity that takes on ontological dimensions in the writing of five writers who are linked by stylistic affinities and correspondingly calibrated sensibilities. They engage writing with painting and their acts of attention converge in a zone where color, space, and creativity sustain the imaginative life-world of their characters. This study should lead to ongoing reflections on the roles of color and space in modernist and postmodernist texts and direct attention to the subtle and pervasive interactions of literature with painting."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Color Space and Its Divisions written by Rolf G. Kuehni and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-04-28 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been postulated that humans can differentiate between millions of gradations in color. Not surprisingly, no completely adequate, detailed catalog of colors has yet been devised, however the quest to understand, record, and depict color is as old as the quest to understand the fundamentals of the physical world and the nature of human consciousness. Rolf Kuehni’s Color Space and Its Divisions: Color Order from Antiquity to the Present represents an ambitious and unprecedented history of man’s inquiry into color order, focusing on the practical applications of the most contemporary developments in the field. Kuehni devotes much of his study to geometric, three-dimensional arrangements of color experiences, a type of system developed only in the mid-nineteenth century. Color spaces are of particular interest for color quality-control purposes in the manufacturing and graphics industries. The author analyzes three major color order systems in detail: Munsell, OSA-UCS, and NCS. He presents historical and current information on color space developments in color vision, psychology, psychophysics, and color technology. Chapter topics include: A historical account of color order systems Fundamentals of psychophysics and the relationship between stimuli and experience Results of perceptual scaling of colors according to attributes History of the development of mathematical color space and difference formulas Analysis of the agreements and discrepancies in psychophysical data describing color differences An experimental plan for the reliable, replicated perceptual data necessary to make progress in the field Experts in academia and industry, neuroscientists, designers, art historians, and anyone interested in the nature of color will find Color Space and Its Divisions to be the authoritative reference in its field.

Book excerpt: Eclectic and quirky, contemporary and traditional, Creative Spaces introduces you to twenty individual and inspiring homes. From London and Milan to New York, we visit the houses, apartments, and studios of people who all inhabit very different creative worlds. Amongst others, we glimpse inside the contemporary town-house of renowned fashion designer Betty Jackson, see the family home of Gisela Garcia-Escuela, one of the leading lights behind the Anthropologie stores, and are given a tour of the combined studio-archive-home of Italian designer Barnaba Fornasetti. Divided into chapters on Individual Eclecticism, Art-Loving Modernists, Living with Pattern and Color, Modern Industrialist, Carefully Curated Purists, and The Archivists, their very titles give an inkling of the different styles and treasures to be found within the four walls of each location. The home owners range from well-known names from the worlds of art, design, and fashion, to private individuals, and range from a small London apartment to a farmhouse in upstate New York, but all have one thing in common—their living spaces are inspired and inspiring, unique, individual, personal, and never, ever run of the mill.
