Description

Colour is a given of most peoplersquo;s everyday lives; but at the same time it lies at the limits of language and understanding. David Batchelorrsquo;s previous book for Reaktion; Chromophobia; addressed the extremes of love and loathing that colour has provoked since antiquity. This book charts more ambiguous terrain.The Luminous and the Grey is a study of the places where colour comes into being and where it fades away; an inquiry into when colour begins and when it ends; both in the material world and in the imagination. Batchelor draws on a wide range of material; including neuroscience; philosophy; literature; film and the writings of artists; and makes use of his own experience as an artist who has worked with colour for more than twenty years.After considering the place of colour in some creation myths; in industrial chemistry; in recent thinking on optics and in the specific forms of luminosity that saturate the modern city; the book culminates in a meditation on the unique colour that is also a non-colour; a mood; a feeling; an existential condition and even an insult: grey.
