Color Vision and Pointillism

Color Visible spectrum of light, as seen through a prism. (Newton’s experiment, 1671.)

Visible Light: Frequency and Wavelength

The Human Eye Rod and cone cells in the retina.

Photoreceptors: Rods & Cones Rods: scotopic vision (in low light) Cones: color vision

The Subtractive Color Model Colors made by mixing different pigments on the palette. Primary colors: red, yellow, blue Secondary colors: orange, green, violet Red + yellow + blue gives black.

Different cones respond to different wavelengths of light

The Additive Color Model Colors are made by combining different colors of light. Primary colors: red, green blue Secondary colors: cyan, magenta, yellow Red + green + blue gives white.

Example of Additive Color: red + blue = magenta

Early Color Photography James Clerk Maxwell, physicist ( ) Photograph below by Thomas Sutton, (1861)

Maxwell and Color Photography Ribbon was photographed three times, with different filters over the lens. Images were then projected simultaneously onto a screen.

19th c. Writings on Optics Hermann von Helmholtz, Handbook of Physiological Optics James Clerk Maxwell, Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873) Interpretations Specifically for Artists: Michel Eugène Chevreul, The Principles of Harmony and Contrast of Colours, and Their Applications to the Arts (1855) Ogden Rood, Modern Chromatics, with Applications to Art and Industry (1879) Charles Blanc, The Grammar of Painting and Engraving (1889)

Pointillism (Divisionism) Small dots of color produce a 2-d image. Optical mixing: at a distance, two colors fuse into a third. Neo-Impressionism: late 19th century. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. First exhibit: 1884, at the Société des Artistes Indépendants, in Paris.
