This Is Orange — Rachel Poliquin

Prepare your senses for a delicious shock of orange in all its glory and variety -- in a playful color tribute destined to wow art and design enthusiasts of all ages. Look closely. The color orange is all around you, not only in the natural world -- from fruit and foxes to minerals and mushrooms -- but in the human-engineered world, too, from works of art to religious ceremonies to astronaut survival suits. Ranging through time and circumnavigating the globe, witty stream-of-consciousness text and jaunty illustrations explore color through surprising social, historical, cultural, and artistic lenses. With more than thirty vivid examples and a gentle introduction to color theory, this eye-opening voyage into the heart of orange is a clever appeal to experience other colors -- and the world at large -- with an open and expansive mind.
