Colour & Form (1950) (Adrian Stokes)

This revised edition follows a gradual accumulation of acknowledgement. The suggestiveness of Colour and Form has been recognized by artists of widely differing styles and long recommended to their pupils by some of the foremost teachers.

In treating of colour as integral to forms rather than as their decoration, the author has introduced certain scientific data in addition to those which were so fruitful in the days of the Impressionists.

As so often in European art, observation and measurement serve once more to stimulate or enlarge aesthetic ideas.

“One of the most fascinating books of constructive art criticism that it has ever been my good luck to come across.” — Time and Tide (reviewing the original edition)

Condition: small touch of sunning to top edge of back board. Some slight chipping to top edge of dust-wrapper, otherwise very good.
