On Color by David Scott Kastan and Stephen Farthing is a lively exploration of color’s place in art, history, and everyday life. Moving from Homer to Picasso and from the Iranian Revolution to The Wizard of Oz, the authors consider how color shapes our perceptions and influences our psychological and social worlds.
Richly illustrated and wide-ranging, this book invites readers to look anew at something familiar—and surprisingly mysterious.
