From the shades of pink in the blush of Madame de Pompadour's cheeks to Prince's concert costumes, this title decodes the often overlooked colour concepts that can be found in art history and visual culture. Edith Young's forty colour palettes and accompanying essays reveal the systems of colour that underpin all we see, allowing original and even humorous themes to emerge. This is the perfect book for anyone interested in learning more about, or rethinking, how we see the world around us.
