John Gage is an art historian and a Fellow of the British Academy, and his special subject is the meaning of colour. He was a keynote speaker at the Eleventh Congress of the International Colour Association held recently in Sydney, which ranged across everything from colour theory and psychology to colour physics and chemistry. John Gage is interested in our notions of good and bad colours -- and why, in certain cultures at certain times, some colours are preferred over others. listen
