A beautifully illustrated look at the paints and palettes used by many of the world's greatest artists from the sixteenth century to today

What can the palette an artist used or depicted tell us about their artistic process, preferences, and finished works? From traditional wooden boards to paint pots, ceramic plates, and studio walls, these deceptively simple yet potent tools provide vital evidence. The Artist's Palette presents fifty unique palettes alongside paintings by the celebrated artists who used them, gathering expert analysis of color, brushstroke, and technique to offer new histories of these artists and their work.

Alexandra Loske pairs each artist's color palette with one or more of their paintings, revealing how the artist used paints and pigments. While Georges Seurat meticulously arranged the paints on his palette in prismatic order, a pointillist technique reflected on his canvases, Kerry James Marshall uses blots of zinc white and smears of pale pink on the surfaces of symbolically oversized white palettes held by the Black artists in his portraits, raising provocative questions about the role of color in Black history and Western art. Through these and other compelling accounts, Loske shows how, behind every great painting, there is a palette that tells its story.

Featuring a wealth of original photographs of palettes, paints, and pigments of all kinds, The Artist's Palette takes readers into the studios of artists from Artemisia Gentileschi, Rembrandt, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and John Singer Sargent to Egon Schiele, Georgia O'Keeffe, Helen Frankenthaler, Lucian Freud, and Keith Haring, revealing how the materials and tools they used hide secrets and are often reflections of the life and times of the artist who once held, prepared, and used them.

Charts color exploration and expression from the 1600s to the present day through painters' tools, art, ephemera, and literature

Throughout history, artists, scientists, and philosophers have attempted to explain and order the visible color spectrum. Color: A Visual History from Newton to Modern Color Matching Guides offers the fascinating history of how color has been recorded, explored, and understood. Using an extraordinary collection of original color material that includes charts, wheels, artists' palettes, and swatches, the book showcases centuries of significant scientific discoveries and artistic exploration. It celebrates the visual quality and beauty of various color theories over time and highlights the creativity of their design and codification. The book showcases everything from fourteenth-century illuminated manuscripts to Moses Harris's The Natural System of Colours (ca. 1769), and from 1814's Werner's Nomenclature of Colours to Paul Klee's color harmonies to highlight the fascinating interactions of science and art. This stunning display of shades, tints, and tones is an authoritative guide for anyone working in the arts, as well as anyone passionate about color in their personal lives, homes, and surroundings.

The first in-depth study since the 1980s of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, a building that is often considered the most poignant architectural expression of the Romantic imagination and that has become a hallmark of Regency style

Created between 1787 and 1823 by George IV, the Royal Pavilion in Brighton is perhaps the most daring and enchanting example of a building that expresses the European fascination with what in the early nineteenth century was considered the Orient, in particular China and India. The building, with its Indian-inspired exterior, was the work of the renowned architect John Nash, who with the contributions of several other gifted and inventive architects, artists and designers, created a building that draws you in, takes you on a journey and plays with your senses.

Featuring new photography, this lavishly illustrated book will provide a fresh look at the sumptuous Chinoiserie interiors of the Royal Pavilion and their enduring appeal. Drawing on recent research, conservation projects, and the unprecedented loan exhibition, A Prince's Treasure: From Buckingham Palace to the Royal Pavilion (2019-22), this book will celebrate the colours and sensual beauty of these interiors while situating the Royal Pavilion in the context of the time of its creation and development under royal ownership, from its beginning in the wake of the French Revolution, through its transformation and extension during and just after the Napoleonic Wars, to its fate and legacy in the early Victorian era.

A Cultural History of Color in the Age of Industry covers the period 1800 to 1920, when the world embraced color like never before. Inventions, such as steam power, lithography, photography, electricity, motor cars, aviation, and cheaper color printing, all contributed to a new exuberance about color. Available pigments and colored products - made possible by new technologies, industrial manufacturing, commercialization, and urbanization - also greatly increased, as did illustrated printed literature for the mass market. Color, both literally and metaphorically, was splashed around, and became an expressive tool for artists, designers, and writers.

Color shapes an individual's experience of the world and also how society gives particular spaces, objects, and moments meaning. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Color examines how color has been created, traded, used, and interpreted over the last 5000 years. The themes covered in each volume are color philosophy and science; color technology and trade; power and identity; religion and ritual; body and clothing; language and psychology; literature and the performing arts; art; architecture and interiors; and artefacts.

Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Einleitend wird der Begriff „Jugend als sozialp dagogisches Aufgabenfeld umrissen und eine m gliche Anwendung von Musik aufgezeigt. Daraufhin werden die Wirkungen von Musik allgemein und f r den Jugendlichen insbesondere aufgezeigt. Dabei finden die Aspekte Pers nlichkeitsentwicklung, psychische und physische Musikauswirkungen, Musik als Kommunikationsph nomen sowie der Zusammenhang von Musikerleben und K rpersprache Beachtung. Als Hauptaspekte sozialp dagogischer Arbeit kristallisieren sich soziale Interaktion und kommunikative M glichkeiten durch Musikerleben heraus, deren Ursachen im besonderen Verh ltnis der Jugendlichen zur Musik liegen. Die sozialp dagogisch initiierte Diskothek der offenen Jugendarbeit kann als Ort gezielter sozial-kompensatorischer Einflussnahme, einen Ausgangspunkt f r eine Reihe von Aktionen mit Musik, wie beispielsweise eigent tiges Musizieren auf selbstgebauten Instrumenten, bieten. Die Projekte mit Jugendlichen aus den Bereichen Obdachlosensiedlung, Jugendstrafanstalt und Heimerziehung verdeutlichen hingegen die Arbeit in geschlossenen Institutionen sowie deren restriktiven Bedingungen. Empirische Feldforschung in Form von Interviews in einer sozialp dagogisch initiierten Jugenddiskothek sowie einer Fragebogenaktion im Jugendtreff „Hasenbergl, einem sozialen Brennpunkt M nchens, best tigte die Hypothese der L sung von Alltagsproblemen durch Musikkonsum bei Jugendlichen im Sinne der Verdr ngung oder Sublimierung.
