To help readers visualize his theory

of colour contrast, Chevreul devised

a series of colour wheels. Opposite

each sliver of colour is the ‘nuance’

that most intensifies it.

Translating Chevreul’s ideas of contrast and

harmony into artistic practice, French ‘pointillist’

artists Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed

a technique of applying small dots of paint side

by side on their canvases.

Chevreul’s treatise illustrated how particular

colour combinations, under varying conditions,

created different effects – heightening or

diminishing a given colour’s power. The

volume includes elaborate diagrams of

painted dots against fields of neutral tones
