Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Principles of Harmony and Contrast of Colors: And Their Applications to the Arts is a book written by Michel E. Chevreul and first published in 1855. The book is a comprehensive guide to color theory and its application in the arts. Chevreul was a chemist who worked for the Gobelins tapestry factory in Paris, where he studied the effects of colors on each other and how they interacted when woven together. The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the principles of color harmony and contrast, including the color wheel, complementary colors, and the effects of light and shadow on color perception. The second part focuses on the practical applications of color theory in the arts, including painting, decorative arts, and textile design. The third part discusses the use of color in nature and how the principles of color harmony and contrast can be observed in the natural world.Chevreul's work was highly influential in the development of modern color theory and had a significant impact on artists and designers of the time. His ideas about color harmony and contrast were adopted by the Impressionists and other artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book remains a valuable resource for artists, designers, and anyone interested in the science of color.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
