A subject of fascination for centuries, color is at the heart of numerous scientific systems, poetic reveries, and art installations. This book traces the major milestones in the exploration of color and the writings that accompanied it, as well as the way this knowledge has shaped our understanding of the visual world. From the scientific investigations of Isaac Newton to the experimental creations of Olafur Eliasson, this book tells the fascinating story of color through a collection of original documents: color charts and color wheels, designers' diagrams, artists' palettes, and rare documentary images. It celebrates the astonishing diversity of theories proposed over time on color and testifies to the creativity with which these fertile reflections have been applied.
