Abstract

La couleur ? Longtemps elle a semblé échapper à toute appréhension, son caractère " accidentel " a découragé toute science. Sur elle on ne pouvait fonder un art. D'où la prééminence du dessin. Puis Newton établit que la lumière blanche n'est pas homogène mais composée. À sa suite, Buffon puis Goethe font leur place aux couleurs d'origine physiologique qu'ils rapportaient à l'oeil percevant. Les années 1840 marquent, elles, le grand tournant dont nous demeurons les héritiers : Chevreul, savant chimiste, remet en question les rapports admis de l'oeil avec l'objet perçu. Il établit la loi générale qui régit la perception des rapports entre couleurs contiguës. Une revalorisation de la couleur s'ensuivit qui a exercé une influence considérable sur plusieurs générations de peintres : Delacroix, les impressionnistes, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Seurat, Signac, les symbolistes, les futuristes et Delaunay. Le changement de paradigme ouvre sur la conquête des voies propres de la couleur qui conduiront la peinture jusqu'à l'abstraction.

Abstract

Tufte has provided the discipline with a vocabulary for bad design (chartjunk, the lie factor), for particular graphic constructions (small multiples, micro/macro readings), and for his own criteria of good design (high data-ink ratio, high data density). His fourth book on the subject is titled Beautiful Evidence (2006, abbreviated below as BE). In this review I will, after some general observations, make some brief remarks about each of the nine chapters, and then conclude with two aspects of the book about which I have critical comments. (Update: Stephen Few has made a few observations about Beautiful Evidence that are quite similar to the ones that I making here - see his review online, or download it as a pdf, 250 kb.). Beautiful Evidence fulfills the expectations of yet another superbly crafted showcase of interesting visuals. Tufte continues to practice what he preaches about visual design. To name just one little layout detail: the reader never has to turn a page to finish reading a sentence (with one exception on p. 37). In the process of writing and editing this book, Tufte made use of the Internet: he posted the drafts of three of the first four chapters on his website (Ask E.T.), inviting comments. Many visitors reacted, posting corrections and suggestions (see, for example, the discussion of the draft for the chapter on links and causal arrows). My impression is that this has contributed to the ripening of these chapters, and I believe that the last four chapters could have benefited from the same feedback procedure (see below, in my remarks about the chapters).
