  • Essays on Colour
    Essays on Colour ESSAYS ON COLOUR A collection of columns from Cabinet Magazine Eleanor Maclure Introduction For every issue the editors of Cabinet Magazine, an American quarterly arts and culture journal, ask one of their regular contributors to write about a specific colour. The essays are printed as Cabinet’s regular Colours Column. To date, forty-two different colours have been the subject of discussion, beginning with Bice in their first ever issue. I first encountered Cabinet magazine when I stumbled upon Darren Wershler-Henry’s piece about Ruby, on the internet. I have since been able to collect all of the published columns and they have provided a wealth of knowledge, information and invaluable research about colour and colour names. Collectively, the writings represent a varied and engaging body of work, with approaches ranging from the highly factual to the deeply personal. From the birth of his niece in Matthew Klam’s Purple, to a timeline of the history of Lapis Lazuli mining in Ultramarine by Matthew Buckingham, the essays have provided fascinating insights into a whole range of colours, from basic terms such as black and red, to the more obscure: porphyry and puce. While some focus very much on the colour in question, others diverge into intricate tales of history, chemistry or geopolitics. There are personal anecdotes, legends and conspiracies, but more than that, the essays demonstrate the sheer diversity of ways we can talk about colour. The essays gathered here have become far more than just the background reading they began as. The aim of this book is to bring together the works, as a unique representation of the different ways we relate to, experience and interpret colours.

    blue. A Guide to Looking This guide offers a selection of works from the exhibition. Look at the included artwork and then use the text to help build a deeper understanding of the artists, their process, and their works. Pablo Picasso (Spanish, b. 1881 – d.1973) Buste de Femme, 1902, lithograph y e r n Inspiration e Between 1900 and 1904 Picasso created a series of works in shades of l l blue that became known as his Blue Period, reflecting feelings of O instability, poverty and sadness. In 1901-1902, Picasso began visiting a a women’s prison named St. Lazare which was guarded by nuns. He juxtaposed the daily lives of the imprisoned women with themes, G colors and compositions found in Christian iconography. In the Artist’s Words “I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.” Take a Closer Look While recognizable as a portrait, the stylization of the woman’s face hints at Picasso’s future distancing from realism. There is a sense of elongated lines disappearing off the edge of the canvas like a waterfall, with the tilt of her head echoing this downward direction. The body language creates a sense of quiet and stillness while the limited, monochromatic palette evokes a subdued, thoughtful tone. Something to Talk About Picasso is known for his different styles and periods, particularly his cubist works which exemplify his quote above. Do you typically prefer artwork to be more realistic or do you prefer artworks do not have easily recognizable subject matter? Why or why not? Antonio Santín (Spanish, b.1978) y Toast to Ashes, 2020, oil on canvas, 215 x 150 cm e r n Inspiration e l Antonio Santin is a Spanish-born artist who creates meticulously l O layered oil and acrylic paintings that mimic the texture, colors and scale of woven rugs.

Daniel Ray Martinez The Blue that Blew Bloo 05/04/2017 The Blue that Blew Bloo My thesis, a video installation entitled Untitled (blue video) explores how the image of the ​ ​ color blue affects the body externally and internally. So much of the world is experienced through images. An image can be something that is physical, like a photograph or a statue, but it can also be something that exist on a screen. Yet an image of something can form in one's mind. Blue can function like an image, in that it is something physical we can see and touch like a Yves Klein monochrome. But blue can also be experienced through digital screens that emit blue light waves. The word blue can also be listened to and felt internally, like Blues music, folks feel the blues.

    An Atlas of Rare & Familiar Colour THE HARVARD ART MUSEUMS’ FORBES PIGMENT COLLECTION Yoko Ono “If people want to make war they should make a colour war, and paint each others’ cities up in the night in pinks and greens.” Foreword p.6 Introduction p.12 Red p.28 Orange p.54 Yellow p.70 Green p.86 Blue p.108 Purple p.132 Brown p.150 Black p.162 White p.178 Metallic p.190 Appendix p.204 8 AN ATLAS OF RARE & FAMILIAR COLOUR FOREWORD 9 You can see Harvard University’s Forbes Pigment Collection from far below. It shimmers like an art display in its own right, facing in towards Foreword the glass central courtyard in Renzo Piano’s wonderful 2014 extension to the Harvard Art Museums. The collection seems, somehow, suspended within the sky. From the public galleries it is tantalising, almost intoxicating, to see the glass-fronted cases full of their bright bottles up there in the administra- tive area of the museum. The shelves are arranged mostly by hue; the blues are graded in ombre effect from deepest midnight to the fading in- digo of favourite jeans, with startling, pleasing juxtapositions of turquoise (flasks of lightest green malachite; summer sky-coloured copper carbon- ate and swimming pool verdigris) next to navy, next to something that was once blue and is now simply, chalk. A few feet along, the bright alizarin crimsons slake to brownish brazil wood upon one side, and blush to madder pink the other. This curious chromatic ordering makes the whole collection look like an installation exploring the very nature of painting.

  • Philip Ball the Invention of Colour
    Philip Ball: The Invention of Colour 1 Philip Ball The Invention of Colour The 2011 Van Gogh exhibition at the Royal Academy in London was widely praised for revising our view of the Dutch artist. Its central focus was a selection of Van Gogh’s correspondence with his brother Theo, and these letters show that he did not work in a crazed frenzy, as the romantic legend might have us believe, but was methodical and thoughtful about his technique. The letters, which are of course long familiar to art historians, reveal a man passionate not so much about love and death as about art, and in particular about its techniques and materials. One great source of inspiration for Van Gogh was colours, especially the new colours that during his lifetime had only recently become available to artists. He wrote to Theo that: I have got new ideas and I have new means of expressing what I want, because better brushes will help me, and I am crazy about those two colours, carmine and cobalt. Cobalt is a divine colour, and there is nothing so beautiful for putting atmosphere around things. Carmine is the red of wine, and it is warm and lively like wine. The same with emerald-green. It is bad economy not to use these colours, the same with cadmium.1 This focus on materials is not unusual among artists. Van Gogh’s friend Paul Gauguin was preoccupied on Tahiti not with metaphysical questions – where we are from, where we are going – nor about his sexual relations with the local women, as again legend might encourage us to believe, but about the very prosaic difficulty of getting the pigments he needed.

  • Colours: Regulation and Ownership
    Colour: Design & Creativity (4) (2009): 6, 1–22 http://www.colour-journal.org/2009/4/6/ Colours: Regulation and Ownership Paul Green-Armytage School of Design and Art, Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Australia Email: [email protected] Received: 29 October 2009; Published online: 25 March 2010 Summary Attempts to regulate or claim ownership of colours have met with limited success. A complicating factor has been the lack of clear defi nitions. There is more than one kind of colour – related, but distinct. In this paper, seven different kinds of colour are described together with the means used to identify individual colours. It is the means used to identify a colour which determine what kind of colour it is that is being identifi ed. These defi nitions clarify the issues in a number of case histories, for example: why it was diffi cult to enforce the law against brides wearing crimson in Renaissance Florence; why his patent on a mauve dye was of limited value to William Henry Perkin; why disputes over colours as company trademarks are so prolonged and so inconclusive. These distinctions may also help to clarify the issues in the current debate about the desirability, or otherwise, of regulating colour in the built environment. Introduction Colours convey meanings in the social context. For this reason there have been attempts in the past to regulate the use of colour, especially the colours of clothing. There have also been attempts to claim ownership of particular colours, not least because of the value of colour in branding strategies.
