Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the ways that colors have been used throughout history in a practical sense. The author analyzes the changes in colors of natural bodies and how those changes were used for both practical purposes like dying cloth, as well as artistic ones like paintings. The book begins with a brief history of color theory and practice in the ancient world, with particular attention paid to the use of colors in Egypt and the Near East. The author argues that the ancient Egyptians had a sophisticated understanding of color theory and that they used this knowledge to create beautiful and lasting works of art. The book also discusses the role of color in the development of alchemy and optics, concluding with a discussion of the significance of color in our own time.
