Each chapter in this book is dedicated to a single color, drawing together stories from the histories of art and humanity to illuminate the meanings it has been given over the eras and around the globe. Showing how artists, scientists, writers, philosophers, explorers and inventors have both shaped and been shaped by these meanings, James Fox reveals how, through color, we can better understand their cultures, as well as our own. Each color offers a perspective on a different epoch, and together they form a vivid history of the world.
