Daltonism in Painting

Day 2,817, 17:27 • Published in North Macedonia

Abstract: This paper is an historical overview of the inﬂuence of colour blindness in painting. The ﬁrst part is a study of the ways of painting of daltonic subjects, which may be monochromatic, bicoloured, or polychromatic. The second part is an inquiry into colour blindness in art before Dalton,with necessarily hypothetical results, and after Dalton,when diagnoses were more easily made. The number of colour-blind artists in the history of art is probably larger than usually assumed.

WAYS OF PAINTING OF DALTONIC SUBJECTS

Methods and a Population Study

Three methods are currently used in the study of colour-blind artists: copying of a picture; spontaneous painting; and observing the behavior of the subject with regard to colourselection.

In this study we will use third one.
