This work is too remote from the science which has occu pied the greatest part of my life, too many subjects differing in appearance are treated of, for me not to indicate to the reader the cause which induced me to undertake it: sub sequently I shall speak of the circumstances which made me extend the limits within which it first seemed natural to restrain it.

"To derive all from native power, to owe nothing to another, is the praise which men, who do not much think on what they are saying, bestow sometimes upon others, and sometimes on themselves; and their imaginary dignity is naturally heightened by a supercilious censure of the low, the barren, the grovelling, the servile imitator."
Sir Joshua Rtynolds' Sixth Discourse.
"The arts would lie open for ever to caprice and casualty, if those who are to judge of their excellencies had no settled principles by which they are to regulate their decisions; and the merit or defect of performances were to be determined by unguided fancy; and indeed we may venture to assert, that whatever speculative knowledge is necessary to the artist, is equally and indispensably necessary to the connoisseur."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of color, exploring its impact on art, design, and even our daily lives. The author, a renowned scientist, meticulously examines the phenomenon of "simultaneous contrast," where colors influence each other based on their juxtaposition. Through a series of experiments and observations, the author unveils a fundamental law governing these interactions, providing a scientific framework for understanding color harmony and contrast. This groundbreaking work stands apart from earlier attempts to categorize colors and their relationships. Instead of relying on subjective opinions or arbitrary classifications, the author builds a foundation based on rigorous observation and experimentation. This scientific approach allows the reader to grasp the underlying principles that govern color perception and apply them to various fields. The book's insights extend far beyond the realm of theoretical knowledge. The author demonstrates how the law of simultaneous contrast can be harnessed in diverse applications, from painting and tapestry weaving to interior design and even clothing selection. By understanding how colors interact, artists and designers can make informed choices to enhance the visual impact and aesthetic appeal of their creations. Ultimately, this book reveals the profound influence of color on our visual experience, offering timeless principles that continue to shape the world of art and design.
