Product information "Book PHYSICS OF COLOR Ulrich Binder" Ulrich Binder PHYSICS OF COLOR - A Practical Theory of Colors for Architecture, Design, and CraftsA color rarely comes alone. Not only is its surroundings usually colorful, there is also a grainy background, an object or a wall, and last but not least, each color has its own materiality.Ulrich Binder dares to introduce a new theory of colors: Away from primary colors and mixing behavior, he approaches the topic of color through the perception of the material. How smooth is the color substance? Does it mix well or apply in layers? What is the warmth, weight, or depth of a color? Does its luster remain even after drying, or does it become matte and velvety? PHYSICS OF COLOR explores the topic of color from the perspective of materiality.

Product information "Book "Idea Color Color Systems in Art and Science"" "Idea Color" "Color and system, two terms that could not be more contradictory in general thinking. However, we overlook the fact that man, in his quest to understand the world, is indispensably dependent on a systematization of phenomena. And what is color other than a phenomenal appearance of nature to which we are exposed every moment, every day, even in dreams. Here, then, the light and its shadows, there the matter, the material with which we create a colorful counter-world, the image - and, if we are lucky, the work of art." From the foreword by Barbara Diethelm Expanded and revised edition: 2003 Authors: Klaus Stromer (editor), Ernst Peter Fischer, Narcisco Silvestrini 144 pages with 47 illustrations, 42 of which are in color Color systems in art and science from Forsius to Sirius.

sehenFrom the announcement of the exhibition at the Kunsthalle Rostock: The Kunsthalle Rostock is pleased to announce with the exhibition a comprehensive retrospective of the painter Uwe Kowski with works from the past ten years.Uwe Kowski (born 1963 in Leipzig) is a painter through and through. After an apprenticeship as a sign painter, he studied from 1984-89 at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig. The images, which seem abstract at first glance, are always influenced by what surrounds us every day, our social and political existence. The paintings arise from intuitive pictorial and compositional ideas that surprise again and again with new forms, color tones and handwriting. The exhibition Uwe Kowski – see brings together works from the years 2010-2019. The experience of painting, which the artist makes his own task, could be transferred to the viewer as an experience of seeing. Uwe Kowski does not want to capture or document a story with his paintings, the most important message is the painting itself.
