Description

Our lives are saturated by colour. We live in a world of vivid colors, and color marks our psychological and social existence. But for all colour's inescapability, we don't know much about it. Now authors David Scott Kastan and Stephen Farthing offer a fresh and imaginative exploration of one of the most intriguing and least understood aspects of everyday experience.

Kastan and Farthing, a scholar and a painter, respectively, investigate colour from numerous perspectives: literary, historical, cultural, anthropological, philosophical, art historical, political, and scientific. In ten lively and wide-ranging chapters, each devoted to a different colour, they examine the various ways colours have shaped and continue to shape our social and moral imaginations. Each individual colour becomes the focal point for a consideration of one of the extraordinary ways in which color appears and matters in our lives. Beautifully produced in full colour, this book is a remarkably smart, entertaining, and fascinating guide to this elusive topic.
