Summary:
The Colour Journal is not simply another publication about the meaning of colour. Colours have not been approached in a literal way but as a starting point, a pretext to tell bigger stories, a means of revealing the story within the story: we all know Henri Matisse's Blue Nudes, but who can say the same about Biskra, the forgotten Algerian oasis that inspired him? We may(...)

Summary:
The Colour Journal is not simply another publication about the meaning of colour. Colours have not been approached in a literal way but as a starting point, a pretext to tell bigger stories, a means of revealing the story within the story: we all know Henri Matisse's Blue Nudes, but who can say the same about Biskra, the forgotten Algerian oasis that inspired him? We may also know about the ultramarine pigment that Yves Klein patented, but who has heard of Edouard Adam, a merchant in Montparnasse who discovered its formula? The Colour Journal intends to fight against the dictatorship of immediacy, to give depth to the pretty images of fashion magazines and Instagram feeds, to delve into familiar moments of art history and discover what lies beneath, to dig into museum libraries and reveal unseen treasures. To bring this enterprise to life, The Colour Journal travelled from Idaho to Guangxi, from antiquity to the present day, to bring you a dialogue between forgotten archives and contemporary photography: follow a denim hunter in the American West, visit one of China's last cultural minorities, peek into Helmut Newton's private collection of Polaroids and dive into David Hockney's chlorinated swimming pools.

Summary:
In this new approach to the history of colour, Kelly Grovier takes readers on a search for the intriguing and unusual. In Grovier’s telling, a colour’s connotations are never fixed but are endlessly evolving. Knowledge of a pigment and its history can unlock meaning in the works that feature it.

Summary:
In this new approach to the history of colour, Kelly Grovier takes readers on a search for the intriguing and unusual. In Grovier’s telling, a colour’s connotations are never fixed but are endlessly evolving. Knowledge of a pigment and its history can unlock meaning in the works that feature it. Grovier employs the term ''artymology'' to suggest that colour is a linguistic device, where pigments stand in for syllables in art’s language. Colour is the site of invigorating conflict—a battleground where past and present, influence and originality, and superstition and science merge into meanings that complicate and intensify our appreciation of a given work. How might it change our understanding of a well-known masterpiece like Vincent van Gogh’s ''Starry Night'' to know that the intense yellow moon in that painting was sculpted from clumps of dehydrated urine from cows that were fed nothing but mango leaves? Or that the cobalt blue pigment in Van Gogh’s sky shares a material bloodline with the glaze of Ming Dynasty porcelain? Consisting of ten chapters, each presenting a biography of a family of colours, this volume mines a rich vein of pigmentation from prehistoric cave painting to art of the present day. The book also includes features exploring important milestones in the history of colour theory from the Enlightenment to the twentieth century.

Les couleurs sont omniprésentes dans notre quotidien, et définir ce qu'est une couleur semble un exercice facile.

C'est en réalité une notion difficile à cerner : la couleur du peintre n'est pas celle du physicien, la couleur biologique ne correspond pas à celle du numérique. Une couleur peut se voir, se toucher, se nommer ; on peut aussi mesurer sa longueur d'onde, la décomposer en pigments, l'inscrire dans un système ou tout simplement la ressentir. La couleur a son mot à dire dans les domaines les plus variés : sciences, symbolique, culture, zoologie, savoir-faire, histoire, économie. Lumière sur la couleur, destiné à un large public, rassemble dans un ouvrage abondamment illustré les différents aspects de ce sujet fascinant. Conçu par sept spécialistes de haut niveau, il propose une approche pluridisciplinaire permettant de définir et de comprendre notre relation au monde de la couleur.

Blaszczyk examines the evolution of the color profession from 1850 to 1970, telling the stories of innovators who managed the color cornucopia that modern artificial dyes and pigments made possible. These "color stylists," "color forecasters," and "color engineers" helped corporations understand the art of illusion and the psychology of color.
