Defining color is a simple matter-visible light of a particular wavelength. Or is it? It turns out that the pigments and dyes responsible for hues have many remarkable characteristics, most of which we rarely ponder. Journalist Finlay's first book is a blend of travelogue and historical exploration about the myriad ways color takes on meaning for us, whether as a matter of aesthetics, economics, war or culture. The book has no overarching theme-it's all byways, an approach that works. Insofar as there is a thesis, it is that visual expression falls just behind procreation and the search for food and shelter as a fundamental human activity; countless peoples, Finlay reports, rank color and art among their primary concerns. During her journey, both literal and literary, Finlay learns of many little-known tribes and historical curiosities: too-trusting Puritans purchasing cheaply dyed black clothes destined to turn orange in a matter of weeks; the rise and heartbreaking fall of the art of the Pintupi tribe in barren central Australia during the 1970s; and the once-supreme economic clout of indigo from Bengal-to take just three examples among dozens. To delve into this book is to see the experimental, scientific side of the old masters and the artistic qualities of inventors and explorers. This is not a scientific work-those interested in rods and cones should look elsewhere. Thanks to Finlay's impeccable reportorial skills and a remarkable degree of engagement, this is an utterly unique and fascinating read. Illus., maps.

从图书馆借到这本书时,还以为是涉及美术绘画的技法,可能讲到色彩在画板上点缀出来的艺术效果。后来感到自己自然地被吸引到各种颜色的世界,就像探索神秘的太空之旅。为了追寻某种色彩的起源而走遍世界各地,关于颜色的秘密被一点一点的揭开,这种感觉既兴奋又感动。赭石、珠...
评分这本应是一本很好的书。 这本书是介绍各个颜色的起源的。在没有化工颜料之前,人们怎样作画,印染?这本书就是探寻天然颜料的起源的。 可惜的是,作者不是一个有经验的科普读物作家,她是个热爱颜色的研究生,为了探寻颜料的起源;她做了无数次寻访之旅。这本书倒不如说是她...
评分 评分(题外话:评论?谈不上,就是读后感而已。) 找了很久,终于在今年年初看完了。排除英国人特有的过分谦卑和为了表现自己的严谨而言之凿凿,这本书还是比较耐看的。 作者的知识结构比较杂,作为英国人,对东方(包括中国、印度和日本)的知识都有较为深入的认识。书中写...
