this book, chromotherapia: the feel-good color photography, offers genuine relief from the black-and-white world. often dismissed and not always taken seriously, color photography has nevertheless allowed artists to expand their palettes and “paint” through the lens. many have moved beyond the medium’s documentary associations to explore the shared roots of image and imagination, drawing inspiration from movements such as surrealism and pop art.

famed italian visual artist and curator maurizio cattelan and curator sam stourdzé offer a new reading of the history of color photography, tracing its evolution from the 20th century into the 21st through the work of more than 20 artists. together, these photographs lead viewers into vibrant, unexpected, and richly colored worlds. from sunny yellow and azure blue to bright red and bubbly orange, the book celebrates the expressive power of color through the lenses of some of the most influential names in photography.

photographers include: yevonde middleton, harold edgerton, erwin blumenfeld, walter chandoha, william wegman, hiro, guy bourdin, alex prager, juno calypso, adrienne raquel, miles aldridge, ouka leele, hassan hajjaj, ruth ossai, pierre et gilles, sandy skoglund, martin parr, arnold odermatt, maurizio cattelan, and pierpaolo ferrari.
