| | Colour in Art | £9.95 |  |
A much anticipated addition to the World of Art library by John Gage, author of the seminal books 'Colour and Culture' and 'Colour and Meaning: Art, Science and Society'. Colour in Art is concerned with the history of colour, but is not itself a history; instead each chapter develops a theme from a different scientific discipline, but seen from the viewpoint of artists such as Kandinsky, van Gogh and Anish Kapoor. |  |

Artists have radically extended conventional media into film-making and video, happenings, performance and installation art, digitally manipulated photography and virtual reality. This expanded and revised edition of a pioneering book (originally published as 'New Media in Late 20th-Century Art') discusses the most influential artists internationally and those seminal works which have transformed world art. | |
