A researched study on two of art's most fundamental themes, \u003ci\u003eColor and Light\u003c\/i\u003e bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge. Beginning with a survey of underappreciated masters who perfected the use of color and light, the book examines how light reveals form, the properties of color and pigments, and the wide variety of atmospheric effects. Gurney cuts though the confusing and contradictory dogma about color, testing it in the light of science and observation. A glossary, pigment index, and bibliography complete what will ultimately become an indispensible tool for any artist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"James Gurney's new book, \u003ci\u003eColor and Light\u003c\/i\u003e, cleverly bridges the gap between artistic observation and scientific explanation.
