Title: Chromophobia Author: David Batchelor Narrator: Peter Coates Format: mp3 Length: 3 hrs and 55 mins Release date: 08-12-24 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 5 ratings Genres: Art Publisher's Summary: The central argument of Chromophobia is that a chromophobic impulse—a fear of corruption or contamination through color—lurks within much Western cultural and intellectual thought. This is apparent in the many and varied attempts to purge color, either by making it the property of some foreign body—the oriental, the feminine, the infantile, the vulgar, or the pathological—or by relegating it to the realm of the superficial, the supplementary, the inessential, or the cosmetic.
