Three in-depth appointments on the use of colors employed by artists. Where do colors come from? Why are some more valuable than others? What is their symbolic significance? What conditions a painter's choice of palette? There are many questions that a subject like this can raise. This series of meetings will provide some answers, with examples drawn from the history of art of all times, including history, customs, traditions, economics, psychology, chemical processes, perceptual systems, stylistic and iconographic readings.
