À propos de cet audio

 In this fascinating journey, we explore Newtons groundbreaking observations of the optical spectrum, which were celebrated by the scientific community. Yet, it was Goethe who illuminated a vital distinction between the rigid scientific explanations and the rich, subjective experience of color as seen through the human eye. Rather than seeking a definitive answer, Goethe meticulously gathered data and conducted experiments, revealing the intricate dance of light and shadow. Though many of his innovative ideas were dismissed as unscientific by contemporary physicists, his iconic color wheel continues to inspire and guide artists to this day. Join us as we uncover the enduring legacy of these two visionary thinkers. - Summary by Lynne ThompsonCopyright Assorted Non Fiction
