Book Club Meeting - The Secret Lives of Color By Kassia St. Clair
March 3, 2021 5:15pm-6:15pm
Registration Closed

Our selection for the March book club meeting is The Secret Lives of Color By Kassia St. Clair.

 

The Secret Lives of Color tells the unusual stories of seventy-five fascinating shades, dyes, and hues. From blonde to ginger, the brown that changed the way battles were fought to the white that protected against the plague, Picasso’s blue period to the charcoal on the cave walls at Lascaux, acid yellow to kelly green, and from scarlet women to imperial purple, these surprising stories run like a bright thread throughout history.

In this book, Kassia St. Clair has turned her lifelong obsession with colors and where they come from (whether Van Gogh’s chrome yellow sunflowers or punk’s fluorescent pink) into a unique study of human civilization. Across fashion and politics, art and war, the secret lives of color tell the vivid story of our culture.

This will be a Zoom meeting and the details will be sent to participants the day before the meeting so please sign up by March 1st.
