Baren Digest Friday, 15 August 2003 Volume 24 : Number 2342 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Charles Morgan Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2003 08:20:50 -0700 Subject: [Baren 22561] good book WARNING: BOOK RELATED MATERIAL FOLLOWS I have just been reading a very interesting book which the rest of you might enjoy. Color: A Natural History of the Palette by Victoria Finlay She has chapters on Ochre, Black and Brown, White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Indigo, and Violet. In each chapter, she discusses the early sources of pigments for that color and some of the interesting social history surrounding the pigments, and her travels and experiences to investigate the sources. For example, in the chapter on Ochre, she travels to Australia and talks a great deal about aboriginal art. I am finding it a great read. Check your local library. Cheers ......

Does anyone remember what it is called? (If it is still being printed). If you know of any magazines on the book arts or hand printing, send them my way. Many thanks. ------------------------------ From: Aqua4tis#aol.com Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2003 15:19:18 EDT Subject: [Baren 22563] Re: good book thank you charles this sounds fascinating georga ------------------------------ From: "George Jarvis" Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2003 21:39:32 +0900 Subject: [Baren 22564] Exhibition in Akita Today the Akita Print People's Biannual exhibition opened in Akita Japan.
