Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "Form and Colour" is a profound exploration of the fundamental principles that govern the world's greatest artistic traditions. Written by the influential art critic Lisle March Phillipps, this work delves into the philosophical and spiritual divide between the Western emphasis on form and the Eastern mastery of colour. Phillipps argues that "form" represents the intellectual, rational, and architectural spirit of the West-rooted in the classical legacies of Greece and Rome-while "colour" embodies the emotional, mystical, and sensory depth of the East, exemplified by Byzantine and Islamic art.Through a comprehensive analysis of architecture, painting, and decorative arts, the author examines how these two distinct approaches reflect the underlying temperaments of their respective civilizations. The book traces the historical evolution of these elements, showing how they have shaped human perception and artistic expression across centuries. For students of art history, philosophy, and aesthetics, "Form and Colour" remains a seminal text that challenges readers to reconsider the relationship between visual elements and the human soul. It provides a timeless framework for understanding why we respond to art the way we do and how the synthesis of these two forces defines the history of human creativity.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
