THE COLORIZING PRO Art, Nostalgia, and a Theory of Visual Cognition
This book is part memoir, part how-to-guide, part philosophical/theoretical argument about how we interpret visual experiences, and part art gallery. Colorizing old photos is not merely about adding color. It is an interpretive act that exposes how human beings mentally construct reality from incomplete information. We do it every day. We’re doing it right now. As soon as I employed that construct to add color to old photos, creating art became almost spontaneous.
