"Guide des arts" collection. A true encyclopedia of color and also a history of its use in painting, the book begins by reviewing the methods by which man has tried to measure color, its tones, its intensity, the systems by which he has sought to define its nature and the way in which it is perceived, from Newton to Chevreul. The book then discusses, with examples and comments, the nature and use of different pigments throughout history, the pictorial techniques using color, and the symbols attributed to it in the West. A large space is reserved for the main artistic movements or schools that have made particular use of it, from Venetian luminism in the 16th century to the almost monochrome applications of "color-field painting" in American abstraction in the 1950s or the kineticism of op art in the 1960s, which plays on the resources of retinal perception.
