Second edition of this famous book on colors theory, which had a profound influence on the Impressionist painters. It has been revised by the author's son, who in the introduction relates the genesis of his father's work. He discovered the principles of this law while attending a reading by Mongez on Annibal's passage of the Alps at the Institut (!) On leaving the Institut, he put the terms to his two best friends, Ampère and Cuvier, "who were amazed." For "this monument that the Imprimerie Nationale is erecting in memory of Eugène Chevreul, it was necessary to use only mineral colors whose stability was certain. It was even necessary to manufacture some which, because of their high price and limited industrial applications, were not commercially available." Traces of damp at the bottom of the first few leaves. The plates are, as always, a little browned. Fort in-4. (8), XVI, 571 pp., 2 tableaux dépl., 40 planches h.-t., 9 feuillets imprimés de différentes couleurs. Toile noire de l'époque. --------------------Seconde édition de ce célèbre ouvrage sur la théorie des couleurs, qui a profondément influencé les peintres impressionnistes. Elle a été revue par le fils de l'auteur, qui dans l'introduction rapporte la genèse des travaux de son père. Il découvrit les principes de cette loi alors qu'il assistait à l'Institut à une lecture de Mongez sur le passage d'Annibal des Alpes (!) A sa sortie, il en posa les termes à ses deux meilleurs amis, Ampère et Cuvier, "qui en furent émerveillés." Pour "ce monument que l'Imprimerie Nationale élève à la mémoire de Eugène Chevreul, il ne fallait ne recourir qu'à des couleurs minérales dont la stabilité fût certaine. Il a même été nécessaire d'en fabriquer quelques-unes qui, à cause de leur haut prix et de leurs applications industrielles limitées, ne se trouvaient pas dans le commerce." Traces d'humidité au bas des premiers feuillets de texte. Les planches sont, comme toujours, un peu brunies.-.

First edition of "one of the most influential treatises on colour written during the 19th century" (DSB). Chevreul (1786-1889), a prominent chemist, presents the principles of simultaneous contrast - the theory that the juxtaposition of colours affects their perception. It significantly influenced Post-Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painters and the development of the pointillist style. Chevreul's interest and expertise on colour derived from his experiences in two positions: director of dyeing at the Manufactures des Gobelins, the national tapestry workshop, and professor of chemistry at the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, an institution at which he would remain for 90 years. His chemical expertise recommended him to the former position, where productivity was hindered by technical inadequacies. Noting that Chevreul had already revolutionized the soap and candle industries, the Gobelin Manufactory hoped he could do the same for the textile industry and commissioned him to improve the colour intensity of wool. During this project, Chevreul discovered "that the apparent intensity and vigor of the colour of tapestry fabric depended less on its pigmentation than on the hue and tone of the neighbouring material" (Norman). De la loi du contraste simultané des couleurs was intended to offer a comprehensive theory that could be utilized across all the visual arts. It suggests principles that could be applied not only to tapestries but to carpets, gardens, clothing, and military uniform, to list but a few. However, its most significant influence was on the Neo-Impressionists. Camille Pissarro "knew of Chevreul's law of simultaneous contrast: he had probably even read Chevreul's chapter on framing, and above all, he effectively applied this knowledge [and] consciously put Chevreul's law into practice" (Roque, p. 34). This scientific approach to colour engendered a friendship between Pissarro, Georges Seurat, and Paul Signac who used Chevreul's theories in their development of Pointillism. Vincent van Gogh also applied the law of simultaneous contrast to many of his most striking works; although Chevreul's works were no longer in print, Van Gogh encountered his theories through the writings of Charles Blanc.

First edition of this classic work one of the most influential treatises on color of the 19th century by the great French chemist Chevreul (1786-1889). "Chevreul made an intensive study of the principles governing the contrast of colors, which resulted in his monumental De la loi du contraste simultané des couleurs (1839), the most influential of his many books. This book was the outcome of his discovery that the apparent intensity and vigor of colors depended less on the pigmentation of the material used than on the hue of the neighboring fabric. After many experiments on color contrast Chevreul formulated for the first time the general principles and effects of simultaneous contrast, the modification in hue and tone that occurs when juxtaposed colors are seen simultaneouslyChevreul designed his De la loi du contraste simultané less for scientists than for painters, designers, and decorators. He devoted much of the book to the applications of the principles of contrast to the various problems that the artist and designer encounter in the use of color and to the harmonizing of colors and their use as agents of pictorial harmonyThe neo-impressionist painters derived their methods of painting from Chevreul's principles, applying separate touches of pure colors to the canvas and allowing the eye of the observer to combine them."D.S.B., III, p. 241.
