Synopsis
Excerpt from The Principles of Beauty in Colouring Systematized
Generally, I believe, an acquaintance with its contents may be the means of leading to a more correct appreciation of one species of visible beauty, widely diffused throughout nature, and often forming a characteristic feature in works of high art.

The Principles of Beauty in Colouring Systematized (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating world of colour and its impact on the human mind. The author, writing in the mid-19th century, delves into the science of colour theory, arguing that colour, like music, is governed by mathematical principles. He critiques existing theories of colour, proposing his own system based on the primary colours of red, yellow, and blue. The book analyzes the interplay of light and shade in creating colour and the concept of "contrast," which forms the basis of harmonious colour combinations. The author goes beyond merely outlining colour theory, exploring the philosophical implications of beauty and its role in elevating the human experience. He suggests that an understanding of colour harmony can enhance the beauty of everyday life, from interior design to fashion, and contribute to a higher form of civilization. This book offers a unique and insightful perspective on the aesthetic principles that govern colour and its power to shape our perception of the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282896218_0
