A Cultural History of Color in the Modern Age spans the period from 1920 to the present, a time marked by remarkable advancements in color science, philosophy, art, design, and technologies. The expansion of products made with synthetic dyes was accelerated by mass consumerism, leading to a "color-conscious society" where artists, designers, architects, writers, theater, and filmmakers played a significant role. This influence extended to our clothing choices, home furnishings, and our response to the vibrant and eclectic visual cultures of the time. The volume brings together research on the polyvalence of colors, their cultural significance, and the various ways in which they can be measured, manufactured, manipulated, and enjoyed. Color plays a crucial role in shaping individuals' perceptions of the world and also in assigning meaning to specific spaces, objects, and moments. The 6-volume set of the Cultural History of Color explores the creation, trade, use, and interpretation of color over the past 5000 years. Each volume focuses on a different theme, including color philosophy and science, color technology and trade, power and identity, religion and ritual, body and clothing, language and psychology, literature and the performing arts, art, architecture and interiors, and artifacts. Anders Steinvall is a Senior Lecturer in English Linguistics at Umea University in Sweden, and Sarah Street is a Professor of Film at the University of Bristol in the UK. Volume 6 of the Cultural History of Color set is edited by Carole P. Biggam and Kirsten Wolf.
