A History of Art in Three Colours
Dr James Fox explores how, in the hands of artists, the colours gold, blue and
white have stirred our emotions, changed the way we behave and even altered
the course of history.
For the very first civilisations and also our own, the yellow lustre of gold
is the most alluring and intoxicating colour of all. From the midst of pre-
history to a bunker deep beneath the Bank of England, Dr James Fox reveals how
golden treasures made across the ages reflect everything we have held as
sacred.
When, in the Middle Ages, the precious blue stone lapis lazuli arrived in
Europe from the East, blue became the most exotic and mysterious of colours.
And it was artists who used it to offer us tantalising glimpses of other
worlds beyond our own.
In the Age of Reason, it was the rediscovery of the white columns and marbles
of antiquity that made white the most virtuous of colours. For the flamboyant
JJ Wickelmann and the British genius Josiah Wedgewood, white embodied all the
Enlightenment values of justice, equality and reason.
