Description

Color Problems: A Practical Manual for the Lay Student of Color by Emily Noyes Vanderpoel First published in 1902, Color Problems is a comprehensive overview of color theory, presented as a painting manual. The book features 117 conceptual plates that analyze the proportions of color derived from actual objects, including Assyrian tiles, Persian rugs, and Egyptian mummy cases. Vanderpoel's unique approach to color analysis and interaction is characterized by a poetic and inventive use of gridded squares to quantify the overall interpretative effect of color on the imagination. Through her work, Vanderpoel demonstrates a deep knowledge of ceramics and a distinctive approach to color theory that was later popularized by men in contemporary art departments. This book provides a fascinating insight into the work of a pioneering artist and scholar who was ahead of her time. With its unique blend of art, theory, and experimentation, Color Problems is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of color theory and the work of Emily Noyes Vanderpoel.
