In presenting an introduction to the study Of color as used in the arts, this book takes account Of the close rela tion that exists between the laws Of color in physics and the quality Of color tones and combinations in art. It makes use Of the principles Of light and optics as furnishing a sys tematic approach to an otherwise bewildering realm, in sc far as an evident correlation exists between the external physical causes Of color and the subjective aesthetic experi ences. On the basis Of these it presents a progressive series Of experiments with actual colors in order that the studen1 may become familiar by direct personal experience, witl certain typical color effects. A few modifications and com binations Of colors are representative Of nearly all tha commonly occur, so that actual experiment with these fey helps to interpret a wide range. The purpose Of the bool is not primarily to present a new or original theory Of 0010] but to Offer some analyses Of color effects, and to give series Of typical and interpretative experiments, togethe with references to examples in nature and art.
