Opis

In this book Edward Branigan investigates color, surveying a wide range of issues concerning the aesthetics of color displays in film and painting, with an additional close analysis of how color words generate mental images in poetry.　 Drawing from Wittgenstein's final and unfinished manuscript, Remarks on Colour, as well as contemporary theories in cognitive science, memory, and language, Branigan offers a roadmap for acquiring the concepts necessary for analyzing color, for rethinking the role of sensation in art generally, and for grappling with problems that arise when thinking about color philosophically.
