Reprinted 1973 with minor edge wear and cover rubs Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description:
From the Stone Age hunters who painted images on the walls of their caves to the first moon voyagers who turned their cameras back upon a swirling blue planet alight in the dark sea of space, men have always sought to capture the colors of the world. The colors they capture - whether in pigment on a cave wall or on film in a camera - are, strictly speaking, not the colors of the material object pictured, but of the insubstantial light by which the object is viewed. For all color is the color of light, and all light possess color, whether men perceive it or nor. The particular color associated with an object depends on what happens to light that strikes it.
