Book Club: The Secret Lives of Color
Sunday, April 28 | 1:30 PM
Presented in the Lemon Art Research Library
TICKETS: Free for Members and the general public
Following Color and Hue in the Lemon Library, join librarian Jesse Alexander Lopez in the Lemon Library for a book club discussion of 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.
