Join us for a special evening with Jennifer Cohlman Bracchi, Head Librarian at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum Library as she highlights surprising intersections between art and science that explain our understanding of color today. From chemistry to camouflage to couture, Bracchi will share stories of accidental discoveries and dedicated perseverance that draw from Smithsonian Libraries and Archives vast collections. Featuring publications by physicist Isaac Newton, poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, chemist Michel-Eugene Chevreul, entomologist Moses Harris, ornithologist Robert Ridgway, engraver Jacob Le Blon, board game manufacturer Milton Bradley, and artists and art teachers including Munsell, Itten, and Albers – color remains an elusive, complex phenomenon still not fully understood, despite centuries of research by artists and designers, scientists, and philosophers.
