Color Theorist Research Presentation Wilhelm von Bezold WILHELM VON BEZOLD Wilhem von Bezold, a professor in meteorology, was born in Munich, Germany on June 21, 1837. His father was the holding rank of royal privy councilor in the Bavarian cabinet of foreign affairs and he had ancestors that count back to the 15th century residing in the imperial city of Rotenbur on the upper Tauber. Bezold’s uncle, Gustav, was a prominent Art Historian. It is believed that he may be the influence on Bezold’s relationship to color theory. Bezold devoted himself to the universities of Munich and Gottingen, where he studied mathematical physics. In 1868 he accepted a position as a professor at the technological institute in Munich. Around this time he married …show more content…
He is best known for Bezold Effect or optical interaction of color. He found that he could change the entire appearance of his designs by substituting a different color for the color which occupied the most area. When one is looking at a specific hue, the hue can appear to change in color depending on what colors are surrounding it. Often, the surrounded color takes on a tint of the color that surrounds it. The colored regions assimilate their border contrast relative to brightness and hue. Bezold was one of a few who intended to create a color-system directly based on perception. One of his predecessors was Johann Christoph Frisch, a historical painter who had introduced an asymmetrical color construction in the form of a circle with eight segments. Von Bezold’s color-cone is based off of Frisch’s construction. Bezold’s color-cone starts with white in the center which forms the base. The colors darken towards the tip of the cone until black is reached. The circle is derived from his experience. “If the purple colors are placed between violet and red, it is in fact possible to accommodate all hues in a recirculating series. They can therefore also be distributed along a closed line, most easily around the circumference of a circle, and thus are given material
She won an Alice Freeman Palmer Fellowship from Wellesley College in 1905. This granted her one year at the University of Gottingen. There she studied under David Hilbert, Felix Klein, Hermann Minkowski, and Karl Schwarzschild. Her relationship with Alexander Pell while she worked toward a doctorate intensified. After her year at at the University of Gottingen Alexander Pell traveled to Gottingen. There they were married in July of 1907. Pell was a former Russian double agent whose real name was Sergey Degayev. This made the trip to Gottingen a significant threat to his life.
As we didn’t know too much on Technicolor we were quite eager and wanted to broaden our knowledge on the subject.
Ringgold is best known for paintings such as oil on canvas. In her paintings she is very conscious of the color wheel and how colors help to complement one another...
After graduating from MIT, he went straight into work at Bell Laboratory. He did most of his research in solid state physics, especially vacuum tubes. Most of his theoretical advances led the company to conquer their goal of using electronic switches for telephone exchanges instead of the mechanical switches there were using at the time. Some of the other research he did was on energy bands in solids, order and disorder in alloys, self-diffusion of copper, experiments on photoelectrons in silver chloride, experiment and theory on ferromagnetic domains, and different topics in transistor physics. He also did operations research on individual productivity and the statistics of salary in research laboratories.

His analysis of color associated blue with the masculine, yellow with the feminine, and red with the physical often violent. He took a cubist approach, in the display and creation of the animals that he depicted in his works; simplicity was often seen as a means to his creative process as well, as most pieces simply focused on the animal, and the raw emotion, as opposed to drawing in from external factors, to create the printed art works during his
9. How do you think the use of colour has changed over different art periods?
There is a great deal of critical influences which John Tenniel brought to the field of illustration and to explore this, one must look into his work and his life to acknowledge how this impacted on Illustration and society in general.
I addition, the painter ability to convince portrays fabric of different types of the marks to make him a great painter. In a dimensional work of art, texture gives a visual sense of how an object depicted would feel in real life if touche...
Before delving into the philosophy of color and the questions posed by different pieces of art, the biological basis process of HOW color is seen should be explained. The retina is a neural sheet, containing the photoreceptors called rods and cones that is located at the back of the eye. Between the retina and the optic nerves leading to the brain are a series of cells that create a lateral inhibition network of the light/dark signals from the photoreceptors (1). This throws away a lot of the information generated by the photocells and gives the brain a "picture" of the edges of light and dark. The contrasts are created, leaving the brain to fill in the rest. Color vision is even more complex. Cones (the light adapted photoreceptor) contain three different photopigments, red, green, and blue, each corresponding to a particular wavelength of light (2). Color is a property of three things: the ratio of red/green activation, blue response, and value or lightness (3). The brain utilizes visual inputs to determine each of these, thus generating the characteristic color.

It can be seen in Chagall’s composition the application of these movements principles of arbitrary colour and reorganization of the visual field, but he incorporates these principles with a dream like scape to create his own personal style.
When reading the Berenson article, one would find a major attention to detail of critically researching documents such as paying attention to concrete scientific analysis in authenticating signatures, contracts, etc. However, something that the reader may find “missing” was the same attention to detail in artistic approaches such as form, composition, brushstrokes, and texture—the opposite of the Morelli argument. Berenson uses more scientific methodology leads to a more critical understanding and aids in validation from more than one spectrum. Berenson shows the reader that this must be found in multiple sources, and no matter how significant one document or detail maybe, it alone cannot establish authenticity. Therefore, it is important to not ignore even the smallest or seemingly pointless detail, for that may be where the proof lies.
In this interesting topic of the psychology of colors, the most crucial pattern is the meaning of each color and his impact on the individual as it is represented as the following:
