On Color Theory…

I still think that this is an important research guide to have:

Buckley, Mary. Color theory : a guide to information sources. Detroit : Gale Research Co., 1975.

https://www.amazon.com/Color-Theory-Guide-Information-Sources/dp/B000JWMN0Y/

(because of all the various chapters such as Perception, Psychology, Systems, Theories, Artist’s Concepts, etc.)

You might also like to see what I have on the research guide that I maintain for the color course taught in UCLA’s Design Media Arts department. See: http://guides.library.ucla.edu/DESMA21

On Surrealism…

This giant tome is a nice overview: https://www.amazon.com/History-Surrealist-Movement-Gerard-Durozoi/dp/0226174123/

Also, there are some anthologies that are certainly worth picking up:

https://www.amazon.com/Black-Brown-Beige-Surrealist-Revolution/dp/0292725817/

https://www.amazon.com/Surrealist-Painters-Poets-Mary-Caws/dp/0262532018/

https://www.amazon.com/Surrealist-Women-International-Anthology-Revolution/

There are loads more that I could recommend, but I doubt you’re looking for an entire section on Surrealism.

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Looking for a few excellent books

Hello community,

As a small public library with a rather outstanding, but seriously outdated, art technique / art history book collection I am asking for advice on books / printed materials in the following areas:

Color Theory
General Acrylic painting technique
Airbrushing
General Oils painting technique
Glass Etching
General drawing technique
Reverse Glass Painting
embroidery
Weaving
Trapunto
Loom construction
Macrame
Surrealism

The current gaps in the collection have been caused by a deaccession of books from the 1950s through the 1980s. I am aware of better materials, and now am searching out expert opinion.

Thank you so very much,

Virginia
