Colour and Meaning: Art, Science and Symbolism

Despite this book being based around colour theory, the majority of the book relies on the text. However the theory behind it is very interesting! Perfect for my dissertation thank you.

Relevant information and easy to read.

I am doing a thesis on film and this book has been of great assistance. The content is to the point and clear. Narratives are easily located.

Great book

Great book.

Colour and Culture was more detailed. This later version is abbreviated and has some more up to date info from neuroscience. I prefer the original.

interesting

Very technical, not what I needed

Entrega rápida. Livro em ótimas condições.

Ok, but more of a school text than I wanted

Sometimes even the most dedicated reader might encounter a book that's difficult to get through. In my case I purchased several books about the colour theory because I'm a teacher and at that time I was preparing a lesson on the subject. "Colour and meaning" was the worst book of all because it makes it very hard to stay motivated and read on. The author certainly knows a lot about colour, but he fails to organise such a huge i amount of information into manageable chunks. I also think that the description of the book was somehow misleading, it said that John Cage's book is unmissable for any artist. There are very few practical notions here that might help a working artist A

Most all images included are in black and white. How can anyone appreciate the reason for the image seen in neutral tones when the subject is about color? There is no life in this collection of words!
