William Claxton. Jazzlife is a monumental work from TASCHEN Verlag, originally created in 1960 and published in a magnificent new edition in 2005. Across around 700 pages, photographer William Claxton and jazz critic Joachim E. Berendt document an extraordinary journey across the United States – in search of the most diverse facets of jazz. The result is a vibrant panorama of the American music scene of that time, which not only features great legends like Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, or Ella Fitzgerald, but also street musicians, gospel choirs, and intimate club performances.

The impressive black-and-white photographs capture the atmosphere, intensity, and diversity of jazz immediately, conveying the feeling of an entire era. The book is supplemented by accompanying texts by Joachim E. Berendt and a bonus CD with historical recordings made during the journey.

With its large-format illustrations (41.5 × 30 cm) and a weight of over seven kilograms, Jazzlife is not only a comprehensive document of its time but also a spectacular collector's item for music and photography enthusiasts. It combines photography, music history, and cultural heritage in a unique volume that is still considered a milestone among jazz publications today.

Number of pages: approx. 696 pages
Format / Dimensions: approx. 41.5 × 30.0 cm
Weight: approx. 7,538 g (approx. 7.54 kg)
Binding: Hardcover (linen binding) with dust jacket, including CD

The Book of Colour Concepts "Farbenlehre" Goethe's theory of colours I. THEORETICAL PART Introduction to the Concept of Colour The subject of this work is the phenomenon of colour. It is not our intention to investigate the physical causes of colour. The phenomena of colour are therefore to be considered here in their entirety. THEORY OF COLOURS I. General Phenomena of Colour 1. The appearance of colours. In what circumstances do colours appear? Colours appear when light, under certain conditions, is affected by something else. In this case, two kinds of phenomena are to be distinguished: a) Light itself is the cause of colour. b) Light is the cause of colour, but something else is also at play. 2. The relationship between light and darkness. Light and darkness are not opposites. They are not to be understood as mutually exclusive. Rather, they are to be understood as intensifying each other. 3. Colour and the eye. The eye is the organ for colour. It is not possible to imagine colour without the eye. II. POLARITY The fundamental principle of all phenomena is polarity. This means that there are always two opposing forces at play. These forces are in a state of constant tension. This tension is what creates the phenomena. 1. Light and darkness as poles. Light and darkness are the primary poles. They are the basis of all other polarities. 2. Colour as a result of polarity. Colour arises from the interaction of light and darkness. The more intense the light, the more intense the colour. The more intense the darkness, the more intense the colour. 3. The spectrum. The spectrum is the visible manifestation of this polarity. It is a continuous gradation of colours. III. INTENSIFICATION The intensification of colours is a crucial aspect of colour perception. Colours are not static. They are dynamic. They change and evolve. 1. Through proximity. Colours intensify each other through proximity. A bright colour next to a dark colour will appear brighter. A dark colour next to a bright colour will appear darker. 2. Through contrast. Colours intensify each other through contrast. Complementary colours create the strongest contrast. 3. Through duration. Colours can intensify over time. This is particularly true of afterimages. IV. SYMPATHETIC AND ANTAGONISTIC EFFECTS Colours have psychological effects on us. These effects can be sympathetic or antagonistic. 1. Sympathetic effects. Certain colours evoke positive emotions. They are calming and harmonious. Examples: blue, green. 2. Antagonistic effects. Certain colours evoke negative emotions. They are jarring and unsettling. Examples: red, yellow. V. THE EMOTIONAL EFFECT OF COLOURS Colours have a profound impact on our emotional state. They can uplift or depress us. They can excite or calm us. 1. The calming effect of blue. Blue is associated with peace and tranquility. It is a cool colour. 2. The exciting effect of red. Red is associated with passion and energy. It is a warm colour. 3. The cheerful effect of yellow. Yellow is associated with happiness and optimism. It is a warm colour. PRACTICAL PART I. APPLICATION OF COLOUR THEORY The principles of colour theory can be applied in many fields. 1. Art and design. Artists and designers use colour to create mood and evoke emotion. 2. Architecture. Colour can be used to influence the perception of space. 3. Psychology. Colour therapy is a field that uses colour to treat psychological conditions. II. THE USE OF COLOUR IN PAINTING Colour is a fundamental element of painting. 1. Mixing colours. Understanding colour mixing is essential for painters. 2. Creating light and shadow. Colour can be used to create the illusion of light and shadow. 3. Evoking emotion. Painters use colour to evoke a wide range of emotions in their viewers. III. THE USE OF COLOUR IN ARCHITECTURE Colour plays a significant role in the design of buildings. 1. Creating atmosphere. Colour can be used to create a specific atmosphere or mood within a space. 2. Influencing perception. Colour can alter our perception of the size and shape of a room. 3. Symbolism. Colours often carry symbolic meanings in architecture. IV. THE USE OF COLOUR IN PSYCHOLOGY Colour therapy is a recognized field of practice. 1. Treating depression. Certain colours are used to alleviate symptoms of depression. 2. Reducing anxiety. Colours can be used to
