The Broad Use Of Color In Art Books

The art of illustration is invariably presented its readers with printed publications, they are greatly different from the paintings. There are minor 32mo, major 32mo, long 32mo, 16mo, 20mo, 12-mo on the book size, only a few size of 8mo and 4mo are needed, the difference between the small illustration and the large painting is the visual sence. We will analyze the difference between the printed publications and the original works on the assumption that the size of works were scale down. Summary visual sense are more likely to be printed publication's than the original painting's. Being reduced to scale can cause the decline in drawing's clearness and cripple the visual sense of the details. Subtle changes that we had made on the picture looked less obviously. Looking at the printed publications, we usually scrutinize the picture in a given sequence such as from large to snail or from whole to detail. Some similar colors and forms prone to connection on the condition that the size of the illustrations are scale down. As a result, it is very important whether the summary form can transmit the function of identification enough. The request for the artist's ability to generalization is needed in process of transformation which from works to printed publications. There was an old saying in China: Having gone to the extreme, the variegated colors inclined to be simple, so, color's subtraction are required. Moreover, the functions of the books is an important request. We should be stingy with the colors, otherwise the limitless hue could haunt the reading.The most important thing of this theme is to indicate the artistic appeal of the illustration colors. Chromatic colors and neutral colors are the necessary component parts of the whole color scheme.
