Description:
The colour book
The centrepiece: a unique compendium of pigments and dyes
The compendium of over 330 pigments and dyes covers an extended range of colourants and is now organised according to chemical criteria. The regular inclusion of over 30 paintings and other works of art (e.g. frescoes) from all periods of painting links the world of colourants directly with the history of art. Juraj Lipscher has selected the works and presented the results of his analyses in a knowledgeable and innovative manner. The compendium thus answers the question of the material basis of painting in a variety of ways.
Over 17 pigment analyses of paintings and other works of art broaden the field of vision and also establish references to art history. All colourings of natural plant dyes and aniline dyes are newly executed on silk and wool. The photographic images of all pigments have also been recreated in high quality.
Editors: Stefan Muntwyler, painter, colour researcher | Juraj Lipscher, chemist, specialist in pigment analysis | Hanspeter Schneider, graphic artist, specialist in printing
496 pages | Format: 24 x 33.5 cm | alataverlag | German language
