Summary

Colour is both a constant and dynamic force in our world. Liane Collot D'Herbois was a pioneer of spiritual colour theory who explored the artistic and therapeutic qualities of light and darkness in painting.This book is a combination of her original works Colour, Part One (1979) and Colour, Part Two (1981), in which she presented her remarkable ideas. Preferring to write in 'pictures' rather than 'chapters', she explains the principles behind her work and demonstrates how each colour has its own unique movement and inherent quality.Her third book, Light, Darkness and Colour in Painting Therapy is also available from Floris Books.
