Las primeras formas de creatividad humana (en incisiones, marcas y pinturas rupestres) son un testimonio del vínculo de la humanidad con el color. Casi tan antiguo como estos ejemplos es el deseo de otorgar estructura, orden y significado a este concepto universal pero esquivo, y es esa fascinacion la que vehicula las obras compiladas en esta amplia edicion.The Book of Colour Concepts reune mas de 65 libros raros y manuscritos procedentes de una gran cantidad de instituciones, incluidas las colecciones sobre el color mas importantes del mundo, y conduce al lector a traves de una odisea cromatica a lo largo de cuatro siglos y mas de 1.000 imagenes de deliciosas ruedas y esferas, y de graficos y diagramas meticulosamente elaborados, muchos de ellos fotografiados en exclusiva para esta edicion. Algunos de estos conceptos proporcionan taxonomias exhaustivas del color, mientras que otros reflexionan sobre la relacion entre el color y la musica o las afinidades entre el color y las emociones humanas.Se muestran obras fundamentales de la teoria del color, como Opticks de Isaac Newton y el enormemente significativo Zur Farbenlehre de Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, junto con contribuciones poco conocidas, incluidos los sistemas teosoficos de color de Charles Webster Leadbeater y Annie Besant, el completo diccionario de color de Aloys John Maerz y Morris Rea Paul y las combinaciones de patchwork del diseñador de vestuario y artista japones Sanz Wada.Los dos volumenes tambien recogen muchas obras intrigantes, y a menudo pasadas por alto, de mujeres, entre ellas las manchas de color radicalmente inventivas de la pintora de flores inglesa Mary Gartside y un cuaderno botanico de la pionera del espiritualismo Hilma af Klint. Los ensayos introductorios de la editora Alexandra Loske y la coautora Sarah Lowengard contextualizan los sistemas de color que componen esta edicion, mientras que los textos de la editora sobre las obras reproducidas exponen cada concepto con mas detalle. Al arrojar luz sobre la historia del color en todas sus formas, The Book of Colour Concepts ofrece una cronologia cromatica de un alcance incomparable.

Dating from the 1850s to the First World War, the Arts and Crafts Movement was an international phenomenon of enormous scope and influence. It encompassed everything from architecture to town planning, metalwork and embroidery, in places as diverse as California and Budapest. Born of thinkers and practitioners in Victorian England its ideological currents reflect the era's most pressing social, political and artistic concerns. In this book Rosalind Blakesley explores the common ideas that give cohesion to a movement of otherwise bewildering breadth and stylistic heterogeneity. At the origins of the movement was a reaction against industrialization, the long-standing division between traditional crafts and Fine Art and the over-elaborate ornamentation which disguised an object or building's true 'function'.Early British Arts and Crafts practitioners campaigned for a revival of old craft techniques, for the elevation of the applied arts and for 'honesty' in design, ideas that were picked up and developed across Europe and the United States, with national variants quickly emerging. Germany, for example, recognized the potential of industrial techniques and experimented with standardization in design; in Finland, then annexed to Russia, Arts and Crafts was allied to the search for self-expression and a national style in art. Examining both acknowledged Arts and Crafts centres and lesser-known communities, Rosalind Blakesley concludes her authoritative and accessible survey with an evaluation of the Movement's significance in the twenty-first century.
