This Spanton translation was the second in English, preceded by the Martel translation of 1854 & 1855, De la Loi du Contraste simultané des Couleurs (1839). "one of the most influential treatises on colour written during the nineteenth century.The neo-impressionist painters derived their methods of painting from Chevreul's principles. They found the scientific basis for the division of tones in Chevreul's principles of simultaneous contrast." - DSB. A delightful interlude on the principles of color applied to effects of hats and skin tone. Chevreul, a chemist, was named director of the dye works in Paris. He received many complaints about the dyes being used there. In particular, the blacks appeared different when used next to blues. He determined that the yarn's perceived color was influenced by other surrounding yarns. This led to a concept known as simultaneous contrast which he explored and elaborated in this seminal tome. Chevreul is also linked to what is sometimes called Chevreul's illusion, the bright edges that seem to exist between adjacent strips of identical colors having different intensities.Chevreul's work addressed painting with the aim of reproducing nature as closely as possible, by separating effects of light and chiaroscuro, which the artist must repeat, from those of color contrast, which would apply to the paint's own color and so be exaggerated. His colour principles had a great influence on advanced art in Europe, particularly Impressionism, Neo-Impressionism and Orphism.
