Book Description:
|
From ancient mysticism to modern science. The story of color is nearly the story of civilization. There is hardly a trace of primitive man dug from a cavern or tomb that does not reveal at least a hint of color. History and culture have never been without color, although much that was symbolic has been lost through the years. This book attempts to review the history of color. The chapters have been written from notes the author has gathered over the years.
