Colours of Wes Anderson
A visual journey through the director's filmography via the lens of colour: complete with infographic colour palettes.
Colours of Wes Anderson explores the distinguished use of colour that makes Wes Anderson’s cinematic work instantly recognisable. This book takes readers on a visual journey through Anderson's filmography, highlighting his unparalleled use of colour and unraveling the symbolism woven into each carefully chosen hue.
From the whimsical charm of The Grand Budapest Hotel to the poignant aesthetics of Moonrise Kingdom, each chapter reveals the genius use of colour in specific scenes, costumes, sets, and details.
Rich with stills from the movies and vibrant infographic colour palettes, and supported by special features on themes in Anderson's work, Colours of Wes Anderson provides a visual feast that will encourage you to watch Anderson's films in a whole new light.
This is the perfect follow-up to Colours of Film (Frances Lincoln, 2023) for fans of Wes Anderson and his distinct aesthetic.
