The history of art is inseparable from the history of color. And what a fascinating story they tell together: one that brims with an all-star cast of characters, eye-opening details, and unexpected detours through the annals of human civilization and scientific discovery. Enter critically acclaimed writer and popular journalist Victoria Finlay, who here takes readers across the globe and over the centuries on an unforgettable tour through the brilliant history of color in art. Written for newcomers to the subject and aspiring young artists alike, Finlay’s quest to uncover the origins and science of color will beguile readers of all ages with its warm and conversational style. Her rich narrative is illustrated in full color throughout with 166 major works of art—most from the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum. Readers of this book will revel in a treasure trove of fun-filled facts and anecdotes. Were it not for Cleopatra, for instance, purple might not have become the royal color of the Western world. Without Napoleon, the black graphite pencil might never have found its way into the hands of Cézanne. Without mango-eating cows, the sunsets of Turner might have lost their shimmering glow. And were it not for the pigment cobalt blue, the halls of museums worldwide might still be filled with forged Vermeers. Red ocher, green earth, Indian yellow, lead white—no pigment from the artist’s broad and diverse palette escapes Finlay’s shrewd eye in this breathtaking exploration.
Excerpt from Color in the School-Room: A Manual for Teachers In teaching color to young children there is a great difference of opinion as to methods, just as there is a difference of opinion regarding all other branches of education at the present time. Indeed, color teaching as a systematic branch of primary education is in its infancy, consequently each educator with positive ideas on the subject ought to give a fair consideration to the opinion of all others who have experience in general education and interest enough in this branch to devote to it any considerable thought. In teaching color two things at least are necessary. First, we must have some standard to which we can refer all colors. Second, we must have some nomenclature by which colors can be known and referred to. In the spectrum are an infinite number of hues, six of which at least are well separated from each other and by general agreement are accepted as natural standards: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Violet. With these six colors either in pigments or in colored lights we may very easily imitate the intermediate hues of the spectrum. Therefore, having these six colors established and named, if we can mix two of them in a definite proportion of each and record this mixture in mathematical terms, we secure a nomenclature for the intermediate hues and other combinations. If the proportions used in combinations could be determined by the measurement or weight of the pigments employed there might have been in use, ages since, some accepted nomenclature, but no argument is necessary to prove that we cannot establish the hue of a compound color by either weighing or measuring the pigments used to produce it.
