Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Color Though living in a world of Color, and forced by the nature of all created things to the daily and hourly use of Color, the average man is densely ignorant of any laws or principles which will guide him in its intelligent use. He has been sailing in uncharted seas, and, as a result, he has often found himself upon the rocks of discordant and irritating Color combinations, in his home, in his dress and in his efforts to meet the demands of business advertising.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Enjoyment and Use of Color In presenting an introduction to the study Of color as used in the arts, this book takes account Of the close rela tion that exists between the laws Of color in physics and the quality Of color tones and combinations in art. It makes use Of the principles Of light and optics as furnishing a sys tematic approach to an otherwise bewildering realm, in sc far as an evident correlation exists between the external physical causes Of color and the subjective aesthetic experi ences. On the basis Of these it presents a progressive series Of experiments with actual colors in order that the studen1 may become familiar by direct personal experience, witl certain typical color effects. A few modifications and com binations Of colors are representative Of nearly all tha commonly occur, so that actual experiment with these fey helps to interpret a wide range. The purpose Of the bool is not primarily to present a new or original theory Of 0010] but to Offer some analyses Of color effects, and to give series Of typical and interpretative experiments, togethe with references to examples in nature and art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Language of Color Rolonged intimacy with color, either in its science or art, doubtless has always aroused and stimulated thought and specula tion regarding its efl'ects upon the human or ganism. In fact, it is one of the aims of the artist to discover the powers Of colors and to employ their suggestiveness in his appeals to emotional man. In this respect our final inter est in the use of color, as in many other activi ties, is largely concerned with the psychological efl'ects. In other words, the ultimate Object of the various arts lies largely in their influences upon human consciousness. It would be an ih teresting study to explore the maze Of devious highways traversed by that evoluting some thing which is an emotion in the making but this is a field for the psychologist. Investiga tors in psychology are invading this vast nu known and from this angle it is hoped that our knowledge Of the emotional effects Of color will some day be greatly extended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 944 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Perception is a survey by leading philosophical thinkers of contemporary issues and new thinking in philosophy of perception. It includes sections on the history of the subject, introductions to contemporary issues in the epistemology, ontology and aesthetics of perception, treatments of the individual sense modalities and of the things we perceive by means of them, and a consideration of how perceptual information is integrated and consolidated. New analytic tools and applications to other areas of philosophy are discussed in depth. Each of the forty-five entries is written by a leading expert, some collaborating with younger figures; each seeks to introduce the reader to a broad range of issues. All contain new ideas on the topics covered; together they demonstrate the vigour and innovative zeal of a young field. The book is accessible to anybody who has an intellectual interest in issues concerning perception.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory of Color: In Its Relation to Art and Art-Industry There is one point, however, which I should here like to dwell upon somewhat more at length, i. E. The choice of terms for the designation of some of the colors. Peculiar difficulties had to be overcome in this respect, even in the German language, since several of the names, which are familiar to the physicist, are entirely unknown to the artist, while dyers and weavers employ still other designations, which are again different from those used by either of the two classes first named. I therefore resolved to depart from the usages of physical terminology in a few instances in which this terminology would be likely to give rise to decided misunderstandings, and I cannot refrain from expressing a strong hope, that these changes may be sanctioned and adopted by my colleagues in the profession. It seems well, at all events, to call attention to these changes here, and to give a concise statement of the reasons which induced them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Color Harmony and Design in Dress The three primary colors, from which all others are generally conceded to be derived, are' red, yellow, and blue. They cannot be produced by any combination of other colors. Some authorities insist on seven primary colors, and another theory derives all colors in the world from pure red, yel low, green, blue, and purple. It asserts that no matter how light or how dark, how bright or dull any color may be, it is derived from one of these five.

Download or read book Blue written by Michel Pastoureau and published by . This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully illustrated visual and cultural history of the color blue throughout the ages Blue has had a long and topsy-turvy history in the Western world. The ancient Greeks scorned it as ugly and barbaric, but most Americans and Europeans now cite it as their favorite color. In this fascinating history, the renowned medievalist Michel Pastoureau traces the changing meanings of blue from its rare appearance in prehistoric art to its international ubiquity today. Any history of color is, above all, a social history. Pastoureau investigates how the ever-changing role of blue in society has been reflected in manuscripts, stained glass, heraldry, clothing, paintings, and popular culture. Beginning with the almost total absence of blue from ancient Western art and language, the story moves to medieval Europe. As people began to associate blue with the Virgin Mary, the color became a powerful element in church decoration and symbolism. Blue gained new favor as a royal color in the twelfth century and became a formidable political and military force during the French Revolution. As blue triumphed in the modern era, new shades were created and blue became the color of romance and the blues. Finally, Pastoureau follows blue into contemporary times, when military clothing gave way to the everyday uniform of blue jeans and blue became the universal and unifying color of the Earth as seen from space. Beautifully illustrated, Blue tells the intriguing story of our favorite color and the cultures that have hated it, loved it, and made it essential to some of our greatest works of art.

This outstanding Handbook contains 29 specially commissioned contributions by leading philosophers and examines the most important aspects of philosophy of colour. It is organized into six parts: The Importance of Colour to Philosophy The Science and Spaces of Colour Colour Phenomena Colour Ontology Colour Experience and Epistemology Language, Categories, and Thought. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Colour is essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy of mind and psychology, epistemology, metaphysics, and aesthetics, as well as for those interested in conceptual issues in the psychology of colour.
