| Summary: |
"A collaboration between author and book designer Barbara Hodgson, and bookbinder Claudia Cohen. The Temperamental Rose & Other Ways of Seeing Colour was borne during the collaborators' first meeting, in the summer of 2006, when they discovered mutual passions for color wheels and other systems for charting and codifying colors. Inspired by centuries of color studies, including those of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and M.-E. Chevreul, the authors reproduce existing color wheels as well as create new and fanciful ways of seeing color. An introductory essay discusses the history of color, and each of the charts is accompanied by explanatory text. There is also a bibliography and colophon."--Heavenly Monkey Web site. |
