Description
Mémoire sur la vision des couleurs matérielles en mouvement de rotation et des vitesses numériques de cercles. (Institut de France. Mémoires de l'académie des sciences, extrait du tome XLII). Paris, Firmin-Didot, 1882. In-4 (279 x 218 mm) de 378 pp., 19 planches dont 16 en couleurs; demi-chagrin rouge, dos à nerfs, couverture conservée (ateliers Laurenchet).
Édition originale de ce très important traité basé sur les recherches empiriques menées par Chevreul sur la théorie des couleurs et des contrastes.
“Chevreul intentionally sought and discovered a law explaining the phenomenon of simultaneous color contrast, which had for so long been the interest of color theorists. His observations on the harmony of colors represent a model in empirical research...
[Chevreul's] laws on the harmony of analogy of colors and the harmony of contrast are recognized in every system of color use developed to the present.
Chevreul, who was working on problems of dye constancy at the time, unintentionally became the single most important figure ever to undertake a study of color harmony” (Kenneth Burchett).
Très bon exemplaire.
First edition of this highly important off-print in which Chevreuil explains in every detail his empirical research on color harmony.
