Red by Spike Bucklow
Part material history, part cultural inquiry, Red traces the origins, applications and influences of the colour red.
Part material history, part cultural inquiry, Bucklow s fine book traces the origins and applications of the reds that have surrounded us since humans first sought to apply the color to their habitats and their bodiesAbove all it reminds us that red is never a simple matter. Red is mysterious and it is fugitive: often difficult to make and to make fast, it is equally slippery in the human imagination. From red mists to red herrings by way of red lines and red rags, it is perhaps the most unquiet and unsettling colour of all. --David Batchelor, author of the Luminous and the Grey"
