Color, a Master Class - Art History, Symbolism, Masterpieces, Materials

Through sixty masterworks from prehistory to the present day, the history and symbolic meanings of colors are explored, as well as the materials and techniques employed by artists to convey their effects, from Yves Klein's monochromes to Mark Rothko's fields of vibrant colors, or from Claude Monet's impressions of a fleeting moment in time to David Hockney's ultramarine blue reflections and shadows, inspired by Johannes Vermeer.

Featuring the chromatically remarkable creations of artists including Veronese, Van Gogh, Hokusai, Kandinsky, O'Keeffe, Kahlo, or Warhol, this volume offers an enlightening overview of the history of color in art.
