Résumé:
Over the centuries our manipulation of the natural world has resulted in an explosion of synthetic dye production and application globally. To gain insight into the history of how folk practices have been lost and technical processes found, anthropologist and textile artist Lauren MacDonald explores a practice that is both ancient and wholly modern: coloring cloth. The pursuit of color has long spurred economic and social contest, and through this deeply researched volume we explore the stories that the materials used to dye cloth tell us about our complex relationship to nature, our troubling ideas about progress and our understanding of power and labor. In Pursuit of Color: From Fungi to Fossil Fuels: Uncovering the Origins of the World's Most Famous Dyes brings together historic techniques, archive photography, specimens and present-day events to tell the histories of some of the world’s most important dyestuffs.

Résumé:
The Color Revolution traces the relationship of color and commerce, from haute couture to automobile showrooms to interior design, describing the often unrecognized role of the color profession in consumer culture. 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.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
Designers and architects have to make decisions regarding color every day. But how does one find the necessary inspiration? The appropriate color? How do other designers and artists deal with the issue? With "Chroma," the Greek word for color, as its title, this illustrated book provides answers to these questions and makes it clear that color is much more than mere decoration – it is one of the central problems of creative work. In the process, "Chroma" embraces the sensuous experience of color, inspiring and seducing the reader with unusual projects, from industrial products to color field painting. The book presents works by younger designers like Stefan Diez and Arik Levy as well as famous artists like Ellsworth Kelly. All of the works are presented in large-scale reproductions and also in a kind of color gradient, in which they are assigned to the chapters "monochromatic," "multichromatic," and "achromatic."
