Description
The Anatomy of Color by Patrick Baty is a comprehensive illustrated history of the use of color and paint in interior decoration. Spanning three centuries, the book explores the evolution of pigments and paint colors, tracing their impact on color palettes used in interiors from the 1650s to the 1960s. Baty examines the creation of common and expensive colors made from traditional earth pigments, the emergence of color systems and standards, and their influence on paint colors. He also explores the effect of industrialized production on the texture and durability of paints, and the development of twentieth-century color standards. The book features specially commissioned photographs of rare color reference books, as well as reproductions of interiors from home decor books, highlighting the distinctive color trends and styles of painting particular to each period. By tracing the history of paint and color in interior design, The Anatomy of Color provides a unique insight into the development of color palettes and their impact on interior decoration over time.
