In 1704, the renowned scientist Isaac Newton unveiled his groundbreaking work, Opticks, which marked a significant milestone in the study of light and color. Through meticulous research and experimentation, Newton separated white light into its visible spectrum, known as the rainbow. He organized his findings into a color system, visualized it in a circular shape, and created one of the earliest printed color wheels.
The impact of Newton and his followers, coupled with the invention of numerous new pigments and watercolors in moist cake form, transformed painting with color into an exhilarating pursuit for artists and a broader audience alike. This period marked the beginning of the color revolution.
The following chapters delve into the intricate details of this remarkable journey, exploring the eighteenth-century color revolution, the romantic ideas and technological advancements of the early nineteenth century, the transition from industrialism to impressionism in the later nineteenth century, and the exploration of color for its own sake in the contemporary era.
This comprehensive book offers a wealth of information and insights, accompanied by a comprehensive glossary, bibliography, and index, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the captivating world of color.
