Publisher's Synopsis
"This collection was inspired by the paintings of forty-seven women artists working over five centuries and born in twenty-five different countries. Some were well known within their circles and times, others worked in relative obscurity. The youngest died at twenty-six, the oldest at 101; some are painting at this very moment.The title Chroma is borrowed from Greek chrôma ("color") and refers to both hue and saturation. Color reflects values, relationships, tensions, temperatures, contrasts, and many other things, including painting"--.
