The earliest forms of human creativity - in carvings, markings, and cave paintings - bear witness to humanity's engagement with color. Almost as old as these examples is the desire to assign structure, order, and meaning to this universal yet elusive concept, and it is this fascination that unites the works compiled in this expansive edition.

Gathering over 40 rare books and manuscripts from a wealth of institutions, including the most distinguished color collections worldwide, The Book of Colour Concepts takes the reader on a chromatic odyssey across four centuries and over 350 images of luscious wheels and globes, painstakingly collated charts, and meticulous diagrams, many of them newly photographed exclusively for this edition.

Seminal works of color theory, such as Isaac Newton's Opticks and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's hugely significant Zur Farbenlehre, are shown alongside rare and unfamiliar contributions, including the theosophical color systems of Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant, the comprehensive color 'dictionary' of Aloys John Maerz and Morris Rea Paul, and the patchwork combinations of the Japanese costume designer and artist Sanzō Wada.

This volume also brings many intriguing and often overlooked works by women into the spotlight, including the radically inventive color "blots" of the English flower painter Mary Gartside.

The color systems that make up this edition are contextualized by an introductory essay from Alexandra Loske, while authoritative texts on the works reproduced set out each concept in further detail. Illuminating the history of color in all its shapes and forms, The Book of Colour Concepts offers a chromatic chronology unparalleled in scope.

great tiny corner shelves
Color: Black, Size: 10.5" x 10.5", Set of 2
Definitely not a very strong shelf. Easy to put up, no missing parts and the material was just as it looks on the picture. They give you the right dimensions but you can put about a box of tissues on it that how big they are. The weight of them is very light.

cute and easy to install
Color: Brown, Size: 10.5" x 10.5", Set of 2
I needed a little shelf to put a plant in a corner and these were perfect. Super easy to install and worked fine even though it turns out my corners aren't perfectly square. Everything you need to hang the shelf is included. Once on the wall it is sturdy and doesn't wiggle. Perfect size for what I needed. The variation in the color makes it seem like higher end wood.
