Our lives are saturated by color. We live in a world of colors, and color marks our psychological and social existence. But for all color's inescapability, we don't know much about it. Authors David Scott Kastan and Stephen Farthing offer a fresh and imaginative exploration of one of the most intriguing and least understood aspects of everyday experience. Kastan and Farthing, a scholar and a painter, investigate color from numerous perspectives: literary, historical, cultural, anthropological, philosophical, art historical, political, and scientific. In ten wide-ranging chapters, each devoted to a different color, they examine the various ways colors have shaped and continue to shape our social and moral imaginations. Each individual color becomes the focal point for a consideration of one of the extraordinary ways in which color appears and matters in our lives. Beautifully produced in full color, this is a remarkably smart, entertaining, and fascinating guide to this elusive topic.Color (Philosophy)Social aspectsColorPsychological aspectsColorPsychological aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst00868512Color (Philosophy)Social aspects.ColorPsychological aspects.ColorPsychological aspects.306.4Kastan David Scott166084Farthing Stephen1950-Yale University Press,N$TN$TEBLCPYDXCNCGMTEFODOCLCFOCLCQIDBINTUBYCUTOCLCQTKNOCLCQYUSBOOK9910796804803321On color1669138UNINA
