List of Books
books that I have lately enjoyed: 'How to look at a painting' by F. Barbe-Gall, 'Painting Today' and 'Conceptual Art' by T. Godfrey, 'The $12 million stuffed shark' by D. Thompson, 'Contemporary Painting in Context by Anne R. Peterson et al., 'A natural history of the palette' by V. Finlay, 'Concerning the Spiritual in Art' by W. Kandinsky.
Taschen's 'Collecting Contemporary Art' was quite a bore with brief interviews and no real substance but to give a basic introduction/overview to the world of contemporary art - another piece of marketing. 'Owning Art' by L. Buck and J. Greer which was a bit more informative than Taschen's. 'Seven days in the art world' provides more or less the same information but through the personal experience of the author and therefore it was more interesting.

Some ideas on the characteristics of color
According to Kandinsky color can sound, smell ("scented colors"), taste, they can be rough or sticky, smooth or uniform, soft (e.g. rose madder) or hard and dry (e.g. cobalt green). "Generally speaking, color is a power which directly influences the soul. Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings".
