Description
The Art of Colour: A History of Art in 39 Pigments by Kelly Grovier is a unique approach to the history of art told through the story of colour and pigments. From the ultramarine used in Vermeer's Milkmaid to the alchemist who created the blue lustre in Hokusai's Great Wave off Kanagawa, each pigment has an astonishing backstory. Over ten chapters, Grovier brings this tale vividly to life, revealing the fascinating history behind the pigments that define the greatest works of art.
