Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Second Edition, first printing of this edition, translated by P "Illustrated with Designs". Color chart frontispiece with 3 other b&W design plates; one is a Chromatic Diagram, with moving part (and tipped in upside down). 12mo. binding as shown, with tooled border and gilt title on board and spine. Very minor bumps to edges and corners. Two small spots to front board. Lightest of wear at head and heel. A very nice copy.

He received many complaints about the dyes being used there. In particular, the blacks appeared different when used next to blues. He determined that the yarn's perceived color was influenced by other surrounding yarns. This led to a concept known as simultaneous contrast which he explored and elaborated in this seminal tome. Chevreul is also linked to what is sometimes called Chevreul's illusion, the bright edges that seem to exist between adjacent strips of identical colors having different intensities.Chevreul's work addressed painting with the aim of reproducing nature as closely as possible, by separating effects of light and chiaroscuro, which the artist must repeat, from those of color contrast, which would apply to the paint's own color and so be exaggerated. His colour principles had a great influence on advanced art in Europe, particularly Impressionism, Neo-Impressionism and Orphism.…
