This monumental masterwork by the renowned nineteenth century scientist and authority on color, M.E. Chevreul, is unquestionably one of the greatest books ever written on color; the first English translation is reprinted here with the original color restored and an introduction and explanatory notes by Faber Birren, the leading color authority of the present time. Chevreuls book dominated the schools of Impressionism and NeoImpressionism, and exerted profound influence on later schools of painting including todays Op Art. Chevreul set forth principles that have become basic in color training throughout the Western world. In his illuminating commentary Mr. Birren shows how many of Chevreuls ideas on color harmony, contrast effects, optical mixtures, and legibility have been validated by modern scientific research in visual perception. mr. Birren also provides a helpful glossary of Chevreuls terminology. Lavishly illustrated, the volume contains many color plates, including 15 plates from the original French edition, photographs of Gobelins tapestries, and fullpage reproductions of outstanding Impressionist and NeoImpressionist paintings. Essential as a reference book for artist and art educators, this volume will also be a source of fresh inspiration for fashion designers, interior decorators, and all others concerned with color in any mediumand it makes good reading for all those interested in the history of men and ideas.

Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with this book. The focus on theory was too heavy for my tastes, and I was hoping for more visual examples in the application section. It felt dry at times, which made it hard to get through.

Not What I Expected
I thought this would offer more practical examples for artists, but it reads more like a theory textbook. There are some good points about color contrast, but I found myself wanting more hands-on tips. Still useful for understanding the basics, though.
