Women Color Masters

We present a book on women colourists such as Mary Gartside, Elizabeth Burris-Meyer and Beatrice Irwin.  It is a fascinating exploration of women's influence on the study, use and theory of colour, a field that has traditionally focused more on the work of men such as Goethe, Newton and Josef Albers. This book highlights the important but often overlooked contribution of women to the development of colour theory and its application in art and other disciplines.

Women of Colour Theory

This book portrays the role of women in the history of colour, highlighting how they have contributed to fields such as science, art and design despite the barriers they faced in their respective eras.

Women's legacy and influence on colour theory

The book concludes with an analysis of how the contributions of these three women helped to broaden the understanding and use of colour in their respective fields and influenced subsequent generations of artists, designers and scientists. It also reflects on how their approaches - often outside the mainstream - have helped us to develop new ways of understanding colour as an artistic, scientific and spiritual phenomenon.
