Title: Goethe revealed
Review: I bought Theory of Colours by Goethe because I thought I would gain insight into color in the most intimate way. To help me become a better painter. But when I got to the point where he says in relation to the skin color of humans: "to assert that the white man, that is, he whose surface varies from white to reddish, yellowish, brownish, in short, whose surface appears most neutral in hue and least inclines to any particular or positive colour, is the most beautiful." when I read that, I was seeing 'the man behind the curtain', a racist. He had no answers for me, no longer do I feel I can count on a person whose thoughts lead him to this conclusion, that the white man is superior. I'll take my colors just as they are, all beautiful!
