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.

"Interaction of color" is often presented as an overarching theory of color, but it is actually a method of learning how to better see and understand color—many of the color exercises illustrated in "Interaction of color" were devised by Albers’s students: cutting and pasting, looking, pondering, and learning.

Summary:
"Interaction of color" is often presented as an overarching theory of color, but it is actually a method of learning how to better see and understand color—many of the color exercises illustrated in "Interaction of color" were devised by Albers’s students: cutting and pasting, looking, pondering, and learning. This workbook companion is a teaching tool designed to enable readers to engage in the kinds of tactile creativity and exploration that characterized Albers’s own classroom. Focusing on eight of the most important lessons in "Interaction of color", this book invites readers to learn by doing, using only simple materials. Core instructions for each exercise are enhanced by additional tips, references to Albers’s original text and illustrations, and stories about how Albers presented the ideas in class. The book and exercises are sufficiently nuanced to challenge and inspire seasoned artists, designers, and educators while also being readily accessible to younger readers and less-experienced practitioners.

Summary:
The central argument of "Chromophobia" is that a chromophobic impulse – a fear of corruption or contamination through colour – lurks within much Western cultural and intellectual thought. This is apparent in the many and varied attempts to purge colour, either by making it the property of some 'foreign body' – the oriental, the feminine, the infantile, the vulgar, or the(...)

Summary:
The central argument of "Chromophobia" is that a chromophobic impulse – a fear of corruption or contamination through colour – lurks within much Western cultural and intellectual thought. This is apparent in the many and varied attempts to purge colour, either by making it the property of some 'foreign body' – the oriental, the feminine, the infantile, the vulgar, or the pathological – or by relegating it to the realm of the superficial, the supplementary, the inessential, or the cosmetic. Chromophobia has been a cultural phenomenon since ancient Greek times; this book is concerned with forms of resistance to it. Writers have tended to look no further than the end of the nineteenth century. David Batchelor seeks to go beyond the limits of earlier studies, analysing the motivations behind chromophobia and considering the work of writers and artists who have been prepared to look at colour as a positive value. Exploring a wide range of imagery including Melville's 'great white whale', Huxley's reflections on mescaline, and Le Corbusier's 'journey to the East', Batchelor also discusses the use of colour in Pop, Minimal, and more recent art.

For decades, scientists who heard about synesthesia hearing colors, tasting words, seeing colored pain just shrugged their shoulders or rolled their eyes. Now, as irrefutable evidence mounts that some healthy brains really do this, we are forced to ask how this squares with some cherished conceptions of neuroscience. These include binding, modularity, functionalism, blindsight, and consciousness. The good news is that when old theoretical structures fall, new light may flood in. Far from a mere curiosity, synesthesia illuminates a wide swath of mental life.

Quels que soient le sexe, les origines sociales, la profession ou le bagage culturel, le bleu écrase tout. Et le vêtement en est la principale manifestation, des uniformes au jean. Mais il n'en pas toujours été ainsi. Au contraire. Dans l'Antiquité, la couleur bleue est délaissée, voire méprisée. Il faudra presque attendre le roi Arthur pour voir s'imposer le bleu royal. C'est dire si le bleu revient de loin. C'est précisément cette revanche d'une couleur, amorcée au Moyen Âge, que retrace Michel Pastoureau, historien et directeur d'études à l'École pratique des hautes études. Les pratiques sociales (des symboles au lexique, des habits à la vie quotidienne), l'oeuvre des teinturiers, la palette des peintres, la naissance du bleu politique et militaire... Toute une cosmogonie douce, tantôt discrète, tantôt morale. Un ouvrage remarquable, riche en couleurs...
