Books like Color codes by Charles A. Riley

Name: Color codes
Author: Charles A. Riley

Color is an endlessly fascinating and controversial topic. 'The first thing to realize about the study of color in our time is its uncanny ability to evade all attempts to systematically codify it,' writes Charles A. Riley in this series of interconnected essays on the uses and meanings of color. Color Codes draws heavily on interviews with many of today's leading artists, such as Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, Peter Halley, Lukas Foss, A. S. Byatt, and others, as well as seminal texts by a wide range of thinkers including Wittgenstein, Derrida, Barthes, Schoenberg, Kandinsky, Albers, Joyce, Pynchon, and Jung. The book emphasizes the individual nature of the color sense and the emerging power of color in the arts and philosophy.
