[Book Introduction]

The Book of Colour Concepts

A Chromatic Journey Across Four Centuries

From the earliest carvings and cave paintings, color has been an indispensable medium of human creativity. What began as intuitive use soon developed into theories seeking structure, order, and meaning—making color a central theme where knowledge and aesthetics converge. This book is a vivid testament to that long history of exploration.

The Book of Colour Concepts presents more than 40 rare books and manuscripts from major collections worldwide, spanning four centuries and featuring over 350 remarkable images. From intricate color wheels and spheres to systematically compiled charts and diagrams, many works have been newly photographed exclusively for this edition, making it of great scholarly and collectible value.

Alongside seminal works such as Isaac Newton’s Opticks and Goethe’s Theory of Colours, the book introduces lesser-known yet equally influential explorations: the theosophical color systems of Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant, the extensive “dictionary” of color by Aloys John Maerz and Morris Rea Paul, the unique patchwork combinations by Japanese artist and costume designer Sanzo Wada, and the radical “color blots” of English flower painter Mary Gartside.

With an introductory essay by Alexandra Loske, each color system is given clear historical context and in-depth commentary. This volume not only revisits the development of color theory but also highlights women creators and often overlooked perspectives.

The Book of Colour Concepts is far more than a compilation—it is a complete chromatic chronology, guiding readers through the spectrum of knowledge, aesthetics, and culture to reveal how humanity has continuously understood, interpreted, and created with color.
