Loske / Lowengard: The Book of Colour Concepts

Languages: German, English, French, Spanish. 24.3 x 30.4 cm, 6.15 kg.
Covering four centuries through more than 1,000 images and 800-plus pages, the two-volume set revels in a vast range of rare and illustrious documents, from early manuscripts to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks treatise to the chromatic tableaus of 19th-century spiritualist painters Annie Besant and Charles Webster Leadbeater. Readers will also find studies from Color Problems, the early 20th-century handbook by Emily Noyes Vanderpoel, which described theories that would trend in subsequent decades in design and art, like Joseph Albers’s series Homage to the Square.
