'The Rainbow Book -being a collection of essays & illustrations devoted to Rainbows in particular & Spectral Sequences in general focusing on the meaning of color (physically & metaphysically) from Ancient to Modern Times.' Edited by P. L. Graham (The Rainbow Show), and published by ‘The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco’ with ‘Shambala, Berkeley & London’ (1972). <br />[It’s a little naïve and dated, but a lot of fun.]<br /><br />2.) 'Seeing the Light -Optics in Nature, Photography, Color, Vision, and Holography.' By David Falk/ Dieter Brill/ David Stork. Published by John Wiley & Sons, N.Y. (1986).<br />[A comprehensive overview, well written and thoroughly diagramed]<br /><br />3.) 'Color Theory made easy –a new approach to color theory and how to apply it to mixing paints.' By Jim Ames. Published by Watson-Guptill (1996)<br />[YRMBY compatible!] <br /><br />Coincidentally, my mother just gave me her copy of 'The Robe' by Lloyd Douglas. <br />[Dean Cornwell did eight illustrations for the book!!]<br />Thanx for the Journey… -RQRobertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751501281929627657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-87889730270590264992011-02-24T10:51:06.142-05:002011-02-24T10:51:06.142-05:00Priceless.Priceless.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15574184493184278713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-9696818480291572832011-02-24T08:03:14.452-05:002011-02-24T08:03:14.452-05:00Inspirational, as always.
