Reviews

"In this remarkably imaginative collection of texts and fragments, David Batchelor has mined modern culture to extract deep seams of colour-thought. Like any great collection of things, it draws together the widest range of sources - from Melville to Matisse to Wittgenstein to Johnny Cash - to completely transform the way we think about how colour works in art and beyond." - Briony Fer, Professor of History of Art, University College London
