| THE ART OF COLOR: | ||
Author: Johannes Itten A beautifully illustrated book on color theory for artists. Such books are rare, but even if there were many this would stand out. This is the best book I know for understanding how we interpret and how we can manipulate color and color combinations ISBN: 0471289280 |
 |
|
THE ELEMENTS OF COLOR |
||
Author: Johannes Itten This is an affordable version of the Art of Color, and includes the essential color theories that Itten established. It is missing the carefully printed illustrations of the Art of Color, but is nevertheless a piceless reference work. ISBN: 0471289299 |
 |
|
| IF IT'S PURPLE SOMEONE'S GONNA DIE | ||
Author: Patti Bellantoni This is on my must have list. Although the title seems flippant, it is rare to find a book that specifically concentrates on the emotional response to colors in films. The book contains a lot of research, but is fast becoming a truism as directors are influenced by the book rather than the movies or ideas that it refers to. ISBN-10: 0240806883 |

|
Color |
||
Author: Victoria Finlay This is really more entertainment than theory, but very useful if you love trivia. A history of paint pigments full of entertaining anecdotes and lost knowledge. This book will definitely change the way you see art and artists! ISBN: 0812971426 |
