On Color: And On The Necessity For A General Diffusion Of Taste Among All Classes is a book written by John Gardner Wilkinson in 1858. The book explores the importance of color in art and design, and argues for the need for a wider appreciation of aesthetics among all social classes. In the book, Wilkinson discusses the history and symbolism of color, and how it has been used in various cultures throughout history. He also examines the science of color and how it can be used to create different moods and effects in art and design. Wilkinson argues that a lack of understanding and appreciation for color and aesthetics among the general population has led to a decline in artistic quality and creativity. He calls for a greater emphasis on art education and the promotion of good taste in all areas of life, from clothing to architecture. Overall, On Color is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the importance of color and aesthetics in society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in art, design, and the history of aesthetics.With Remarks On Laying Out Dressed Or Geometrical Gardens.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
