Colour in Art, Design & Nature
Colour in Art, Design & Nature is an interdisciplinary PDF volume edited by C A Brebbia, C Greated and M W Collins. Published by WIT Press in 2011, it brings together research and practice on colour across biology, art, design and engineering. This digital edition gives you instant download access to the complete 155-page file.
The collection originated from a meeting held in Edinburgh on colour in art, design and nature. It includes papers by biologists, practising artists, art historians and engineers, and is reprinted from the special edition of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics, Volume 4, Number 3.
Book Overview
Colour in Art, Design & Nature presents colour as a shared ground between the sciences and the arts. The foreword by M.W. Collins reflects on C.P. Snow’s idea of the “two cultures” and argues that the study of colour can help unite them.
The papers explore animal camouflage, the diversity of flower colour, colour theory from Goethe to Turner, the crafted image in a digital environment, and the use of colour in experimental fluid mechanics. Later sections consider colour in the countryside, sacred spaces and seventeenth-century church interiors.
What You’ll Discover Inside
- A foreword linking colour research to the broader cultural debate between science and the humanities.
- Biological studies of camouflage and the function of floral colour.
- Artists’ perspectives on the crafted image, sensation and nature.
- Engineering papers on thermo-hydraulics and colour patterns inspired by nature.
- Historical studies of colour theory, including Goethe, Eastlake and Turner.
- Research on light and colour in sacred architecture.
Why This Book Matters
Colour in Art is not a single discipline; it sits at the intersection of physics, physiology and psychology. The volume shows how arts and sciences flow from the same source and remain closely linked.
For readers in visual art, biology, design and engineering, this collection offers a rare cross-disciplinary view of a subject that is often divided between different fields.
