The Prism of Color: Artistic Interpretations and Historical Milestones

This lecture explores the phenomenon of light entering a prism and being split into colors, illustrated by the evolution of color theory from Newton's Color Circle to the modern Color Wheel. It connects various artistic works spanning centuries, including Joan Miró's "Foundation Tapestry," Masaccio's "Tribute Money," and Claude Monet's "Rouen Cathedral," showcasing how artists have engaged with color. Additionally, it examines contemporary interpretations of color in design and art, such as Sophie Calle's Chromatic Diet and Ettore Sottsass's Carlton Room Divider, reflecting the relationship between color theory and artistic expression.
