{"product_id":"9781616890056","title":"On Vision and Colors; Color Sphere","description":"During the first two decades of the nineteenth century, two of the most significant theoretical works on color since Leonardo da Vinci's \u003cem\u003eTrattato della Pittura\u003c\/em\u003e were written and published in Germany: Arthur Schopenhauer's \u003cem\u003eOn Vision and Colors\u003c\/em\u003e and Philipp Otto Runge's \u003cem\u003eColor Sphere\u003c\/em\u003e. For Schopenhauer, vision is wholly subjective in nature and characterized by processes that cross over into the territory of philosophy. Runge's \u003cem\u003eColor Sphere\u003c\/em\u003e and essay \"The Duality of Color\" contained one of the first attempts to depict a comprehensive and harmonious color system in three dimensions. Runge intended his color sphere to be understood not as a product of art, but rather as a \"mathematical figure of various philosophical reflections.\" By bringing these two visionary color theories together within a broad theoretical context—philosophy, art, architecture, and design—this volume uncovers their enduring influence on our own perception of color and the visual world around us.","brand":"Princeton Architectural Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47113467953392,"sku":"9781616890056","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781616890056_p0.jpg?v=1763851847","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781616890056","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
