Lights & Pigments: Colour Principles for Artists - 1980

"One of the first books on colour to take into account that the contemporary practice of art and design may involve not only paints but the use of media as diverse as photographic film, videotape, printing inks, dyes, natural and synthetic plastics, electric light, fire and laser beams. Lights and Pigments is for artists and art students of the 1980s but it is also a book for the general reader interested in the subject. The book contains all the basic colour information that artists are likely to need throughout their creative lives. It also touches on many important aspects of art history. The author couples sound fact and theory with the exciting possibilities of exploring colour at a creative, investigative, and experimental level..."
