520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. This book looks at color in Western culture from the ancient Greeks to the late twentieth century. Gage describes the first theories of color articulated by philosophers from Democritus to Aristotle and the subsequent attempts by the Romans and their Renaissance disciples to organize color systematically or endow it with symbolic power. Topics include the place of color in religion, Newton's analysis of the spectrum, Goethe's color theory, and the theories and practices that have attempted to unite color and music.
