Synopsis

For the first time, the scientific principles and concepts are presented in a master classic complete work. After 50 years as one of the early pioneers of color analysis, Irenee Riter presents this fourth edition of the holistic science of color analysis, body analysis and face analysis exhibited by nature's lines, shapes and color templates. The intent of this work is to provide “the box of crayons” for everyone (men, women and children) to use and apply beauty to the art of personal dress. This study goes far beyond the limiting 4 season approach and presents in theory the scientific orderly principle behind human coloring; warm-skin has complementary cool-hair color, and cool-skin has complementary warm-hair color. The hair and skin are not the same--they are opposite! The Law of Attraction will always accentuate the dominant pigment color in skin and hair. This is nature’s way of bringing balance to our coloring (using warm/cool complementary colors together for balance.) Misunderstanding this has caused much confusion and must be seen clearly for successful analysis. This principle is so precise that the eye-color magically fills in anything necessary to complete the whole perfect complementary color scheme of red, yellow, blue pigments. In addition, Inter-season colors were discovered by arranging the colors in harmonic sequence which revealed balanced colors and solved the problem for those with coloring involving Inter-season colors in addition to one’s Homebase season.This highly illustrated 312-page book is the culmination of the 90-hour required foundation color and line classes Irenee taught for the Academy of Art in San Francisco. The concepts and principles are peer reviewed proven and valid. Written and illustrated in an unfolding step-by-step tutorial, this book includes 547 basic clothing illustrations aligned with each body shape and details connecting relevant data from the body and face structure up through every nuance of personal dress and style. To understand where you fit into picture, fully detailed color and body Questionnaires are provided for both men and women. The men and boys section of the book is fully illustrated including clothing, accessories, hair styles, patterns including wardrobe layout plans for each Season and Inter-season.Around the world, this study is considered the in-depth manual for color and line education and acts as a reference guide based on scientific principles culminating in The Universal Language of Color and Line. Because these principles are sound and unchanging, they are classic in every sense and meet the criteria of on-going studies in all creative art associated areas.
