The Theory and Practice of Color Pl.14 (1918),Bonnie E. Snow

£10.00

This image serves as a historic exploration of the principles of colour theory as conceptualised in the early 20th century. Taken from *”The Theory and Practice of Colour”* (1918) by Bonnie E. Snow and Hugo B. Froehlich, it encapsulates the foundational relationships between complementary hues and neutral greys. Designed as an instructional aid, it reflects the pedagogical emphasis on art education during a transformative era when visual literacy was being prioritised in creative disciplines. The chart uses methodical arrangements of colours and blends to demonstrate how primary and secondary hues interact, converge, and balance.

Snow and Froehlich, both advocates of innovative art education, contributed to progressive methods which valued the rational as well as emotional understanding of design. Their work offered a bridge between scientific precision and artistic experimentation, influencing approaches to colour in applied arts and beyond. This chart stands as both an educational tool and a visual representation of an era marked by harmonies between structure and creativity.
