Download or read book The Language of Flowers written by Beverly Seaton and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2012-10-10 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author traces the phenomenon of ascribing sentimental meaning to floral imagery from its beginnings in Napoleonic France through its later transformations in England and America. At the heart of the book is a depiction of what the three most important flower books from each of the countries divulge about the period and the respective cultures. Seaton shows that the language of flowers was not a single and universally understood correlation of flowers to meanings that men and women used to communicate in matters of love and romance. The language differs from book to book, country to country. To place the language of flowers in social and literary perspective, the author examines the nineteenth-century uses of flowers in everyday life and in ceremonies and rituals and provides a brief history of floral symbolism. She also discusses the sentimental flower book, a genre especially intended for female readers. Two especially valuable features of the book are its table of correlations of flowers and their meanings from different sourcebooks and its complete bibliography of language of flower titles. This book will appeal not only to scholars in Victorian studies and women's studies but also to art historians, book collectors, museum curators, historians of horticulture, and anyone interested in nineteenth-century popular culture.

Download or read book Color and Cognition in Mesoamerica written by Robert E. MacLaury and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 100 indigenous languages are spoken in Mexico and Central America. Each language partitions the color spectrum according to a pattern that is unique in some way. But every local system of color categories also shares characteristics with the systems of other Mesoamerican languages and of languages elsewhere in the world. This book presents the results of the Mesoamerican Color Survey, which Robert E. MacLaury conducted in 1978-1981. Drawn from interviews with 900 speakers of some 116 Mesoamerican languages, the book provides a sweeping overview of the organization and semantics of color categorization in modern Mesoamerica. Extensive analysis and MacLaury's use of vantage theory reveal complex and often surprising interrelationships among the ways languages categorize colors. His findings offer valuable cross-cultural data for all students of Mesoamerica. They will also be of interest to all linguists and cognitive scientists working on theories of categorization more generally.

This book was released on 2016-04-27 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Sicily Herald and the Blazon of Colours' brings together the original texts with original English translations of two closely related primary sources on Renaissance colour symbolism. 'Le Blason de toutes armes et scutz' (The blazon of all arms and shields) was completed about 1420 by Jean Courtois (c. 1375-1436), the Sicily Herald, and printed in Paris in 1495. The second, 'Le Blason des couleurs en armes, livr es, et devises' (The blazon of colours in arms, liveries and devices), by Gilles Corrozet (1510-68), was published in Paris in 1527 by Pierre Le Brodeur. They were first two books on colour to be printed in Europe, and are now available in English for the first time in five centuries. Roy Osborne is an artist, educator and historian, and author of books on colour. He was awarded the Turner Medal of the Colour Group (Great Britain) in 2003, and the Colour in Art, Design and Environment Medal of the International Colour Association in 2019.

Download or read book Emily Vanderpoel s Color Problems written by Emily Noyes Vanderpoel and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key publication on colour theory from a pioneering female scientist, this unique work explores the world of colour, reimagining foundational theories for practical use in the fields of art, science, and design. First published in 1902, Color Problems is a seminal work of Emily Noyes Vanderpoel, a pioneering artist, scientist, and scholar. Developing the colour theories established by Newton, Goethe, and their later compeers, Chevruel and Rood, this unique guide presents accessible colour science to appeal across the disciplines, breaking down key ideas in a series of experimental and visually stunning illustrations. While underappreciated in its time, Vanderpoel’s expressions of colour not only changed the face of colour science but also anticipated major developments in modern art by nearly half a century, becoming influential for abstract artists like Josef Albers and the Bauhaus School of Art. A proud addition to the Art Meets Science collection, Color Problems is a key text for those studying colour theory or interested in colour application and its history. This facsimile edition features Vanderpoel’s original text and illustrations in a testament to her emotionally evocative work in the fields of both art and science.
