Secret Lives of Colour

The Secret Lives of Colour tells the unusual stories of the 75 most fascinating shades, dyes and hues.

From blonde to ginger, the brown that changed the way battles were fought to the white that protected against the plague, Picasso's blue period to the charcoal on the cave walls at Lascaux, acid yellow to kelly green, and from scarlet women to imperial purple, these surprising stories run like a bright thread throughout history. In this book Kassia St Clair has turned her lifelong obsession with colours and where they come from (whether Van Gogh's chrome yellow sunflowers or punk's fluorescent pink) into a unique study of human civilisation. Across fashion and politics, art and war, The Secret Lives of Colour tell the vivid story of our culture.

Rahva Raamatu võõrkeelse kirjanduse ostujuht Kristi Siimon soovitab: “Tunnistan ausalt, et see raamat jäi mulle esmalt silma puhtalt oma stiilse ja noobli välimusega. Nõudis kättevõtmist ja silitamist. Seda suurem oli minu kergendus, et sisu on VEEL parem. Raamat jutustab värvidest. Kokku 75 erinevat tooni ja igaühel oma lugu. Aga see on väga salakaval raamat. Kui oled lõpetanud viimase stiilipuhta lehekülje visuaalse ja sisulise nautlemise, siis avastad, et oled märkamatult teada saanud nii palju enam, kui sissejuhatus ette hoiatas. Seda raamatut soovitan ma kõigile. Täiesti valimatult.”
