Description
Book Synopsis
A complete guide to the most prominent color pigments and their use through art history to the present day. An invaluable resource for artists and students alike, The Artist's Color Box decodes the fascinating pigments that have shaped the story of art. Open the box, and you'll find 49 cards - each detailing a pigment carefully selected from across all cultures and eras. Discover the history behind each color (its discovery or invention, production and usage). Put each pigment card to use as a practical color swatch and learn more about a notable work from art history that prominently features it. Bridging the gap between historical technique and contemporary art practice, this interactive card deck will be an invaluable resource for any artist, art student, historian or art lover.About the Author
