[Allison · Rating 5 out of 5]

Most art history books are a chronology of aesthetic movements. This coherently-narrated anthology explores the science, history, and cultural significance of color as applied to an array of Western art. With chapters organized by color family, we learn how pigments were made, what historical associations they hold, and what they may have meant for the artists.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Each chapter is devoted to a color; the selections for artistic representations and further exploration of the color are incredible. After reading this book, I appreciated art in a deeper way.
