Defining color is a simple matter-visible light of a particular wavelength. Or is it? It turns out that the pigments and dyes responsible for hues have many remarkable characteristics, most of which we rarely ponder. Journalist Finlay's first book is a blend of travelogue and historical exploration about the myriad ways color takes on meaning for us, whether as a matter of aesthetics, economics, war or culture. The book has no overarching theme-it's all byways, an approach that works. Insofar as there is a thesis, it is that visual expression falls just behind procreation and the search for food and shelter as a fundamental human activity; countless peoples, Finlay reports, rank color and art among their primary concerns. During her journey, both literal and literary, Finlay learns of many little-known tribes and historical curiosities: too-trusting Puritans purchasing cheaply dyed black clothes destined to turn orange in a matter of weeks; the rise and heartbreaking fall of the art of the Pintupi tribe in barren central Australia during the 1970s; and the once-supreme economic clout of indigo from Bengal-to take just three examples among dozens. To delve into this book is to see the experimental, scientific side of the old masters and the artistic qualities of inventors and explorers. This is not a scientific work-those interested in rods and cones should look elsewhere. Thanks to Finlay's impeccable reportorial skills and a remarkable degree of engagement, this is an utterly unique and fascinating read. Illus., maps.

这本书是在自己生日宴上朋友所赠。两个多月后在回家的长途火车上才第一次打开。我先不说这本书怎么样,我说说它改变了我的什么。 颜色从小对我来说是一个很神秘且很难预料的事物。很小我就开始学画,但是直到不久以前我对色彩仍然是很畏惧的,因此我更多的时间会选择水墨画或是...
评分从朋友那借这本书的时候是充满期待的,以为可以看到一个缤纷绚丽,妙趣横生又知识丰富的书,包含对于颜色的种种来龙去脉的描述。看了以后有点失望,不够缤纷:对于一本说颜色的书来说图片太少了;不够有趣:里面的故事说的都不是很生动。知识呢。。。。。不知道,因为上述两个...

评分与其说是“调色板的自然史”,不如说是作者寻找颜料的旅行手记,所以无关颜色的废话相当多,多到想从中提取有用信息都有些障碍重重。个人觉得整本书应该可以精简到250页左右。书中还有一些错误,书页margin处有不明数字(推测可能是原版的页码)。
评分这本应是一本很好的书。 这本书是介绍各个颜色的起源的。在没有化工颜料之前,人们怎样作画,印染?这本书就是探寻天然颜料的起源的。 可惜的是,作者不是一个有经验的科普读物作家,她是个热爱颜色的研究生,为了探寻颜料的起源;她做了无数次寻访之旅。这本书倒不如说是她...
