He analyses colonialist and gendered attitudes, materialist and romanticist perspectives, spiritualist approaches to color, color in the age of reproduction, and modernist and post-modernist color strategies. Highlighted throughout are examples of the ways in which attitudes towards color have been impacted by the legacy of colonialism and are tied up with race, gender, and class. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTopics covered include color models, wheels and charts, color interaction and theories of perception, with over 150 images throughout. By placing under-examined tenets of color theory such as the color wheel and color primaries within the Western industrial context that generated them, Fine helps you to connect color choices to color meanings and apply theory to practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron Fine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.57w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350027305","brand":"Bloomsbury Visual Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45398109225097,"sku":"9781350027305","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_d917dea2-09e2-4a44-8f19-ac6774b2de85.jpg?v=1773727419","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/color-theory-a-critical-introduction-9781350027305","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
