Colour in Art and Daily Life

First published in 1928, Colour in Art and Daily Life presents a series of fascinating essays analysing and expounding the beauty of colours, their relationship to one another and to line, surface and form. For the layman, as for the art student, there is set forth in this book the knowledge that will not only enrich her understanding of the great masters of painting but will also educate her taste in the appreciation of colour in everyday life.
