Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Over the millennia, humans have used pigments to decorate, narrate, and instruct. Charred bone, ground earth, stones, bugs, and blood were the first pigments.

This richly illustrated book features incisive historical essays and case studies that shed light on the many forms of pigments - the organic and inorganic; the edible and the toxic; and those that are more precious than gold. It shows how pigments were as central to the earliest art forms and global trade networks as they are to commerce, ornamentation, and artistic expression today. The book reveals the innate instability and mutability of most pigments and discusses how few artworks or objects look as they did when they were first created.From cave paintings to contemporary art, Pigments demonstrates how a material understanding of colour opens new perspectives on visual culture and the history of art.
