Summary:
Artist, critic and poet Eve Wood has a ribald sense of humor and for decades has had a distinctive presence in the Southern California art world. This is her first monograph, featuring a collection of off-beat, imaginative color studies populated with birds, animals and irreverent, sometimes naughty personae. Short, laugh-out-loud prose accompanies each of the portraits and vivid scenes. Her dog sleeps on a Ukranian-gold and blue rug; her raven vacuums the house; absurd characters from movies and art stand in for obnoxious or dreamy colors; and the birds – so many birds – sing of freedom.

Summary:
Les couleurs ont toujours fasciné les hommes. Cependant, les préférences en la matière sont très personnelles d'autant plus que les couleurs ont des impacts différents dont il faut tenir compte pour la façade d'une habitation et dans la décoration intérieure: en effet, le noir structure et définit l'espace, le marron donne une sensation d'intimité et de naturel, le rouge et l'orange forment des contrastes vivants et le blanc, tout en évoquand la pureté, peut aussi bien se montrer discret qu'éblouissant. S'appuyant sur de nombreuses photos, plans et coupes, ce livre montre comment les grands architectes et cabinets d'architectes utilisent la couleur pour souligner le caractère d'un bâtiment.
