AIC Annual Newsletter 2009
No full textWith this Newsletter, we are returning to a one-year cycle. My AIC color highlights occurred in Stockholm at the midterm meeting. Before the meeting, I spent the day at the Vasa Museum viewing the World’s only surviving 17th century ship. The ship was affixed with incredible carvings, originally polychrome. There was a display of the pigments they identified and a reproduction of how these carvings might have appeared before the paint was removed by the ravages of time.
My second colorful event was taking a course about the NCS system. It was a great opportunity to learn about this important color-order system in the location where it was developed
AIC Annual Newsletter 2008
No full textDuring AIC2006, I made a motion to have the Newsletter cover a calendar year period. The motion was carried and this Newsletter covers the end of 2006 and all of 2007. Inthe last Newsletter, No. 20, I made a request for more images from the Member Countries and our Study Groups. I showed some interesting illusions in that newsletter kindly provided by Osvaldo da Pos. To keep the ball rolling, I am enclosing some pictures taken at AIC2006 in Johannesburg and AIC2007 in Hangzhou by either Jose Luis Caivano or myself
AIC Annual Newsletter 2006
No full textThis is my first Newsletter and I have tried to maintain its historical style, not easy for an American using A4 paper for the first time. This Newsletter would not have been possible without the help and guidance of Paul Green-Armytage, the editor during 1990-1993 and 2002-2005, and our current AIC President, José Luis Caivano.In this Newsletter, most of the news originates from our Member Organizations and Study Groups. In the future, I will be able to report on the Interim Meeting, “Colour inCulture and Colour in Fashion,” to be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, October 24-27, 2006.As a color and imaging scientist, I often think about images and how easily they convey complex and interesting information. I hope to increase the number of images in the next Newsletter. At any time, please send interesting images, illusions, and news items to me
AIC Annual Newsletter 2005
No full textCircumstances that delayed publication of last year’s Newsletter have overflowed into 2005. As a result, this edition contains reports of activities within member organizations during 2004 but there are also reports that refer to events of 2005. This applies especially to President Paula Alessi’s report in which she quotes from the closing speech she gave at the AIC Congress in Granada earlier this year. Paula’s speech conveys very well how rewarding the Congress was for those who attended.I have included a page of photographs which I hope will complement Paula’s words.This Newsletter celebrates the presentation to John Hutchings of the AIC Deane B. Judd Award for 2005 when I had the honour of reading the citation.The presentation took place during the Granada Congress and it was followed by the AIC Assembly. The minutes of the Assembly are included in the Newsletter. I have also taken the opportunity to introduce the members of the new ExecutiveCommittee who will take office in 2006. Reports from the study groups refer to activities in 2005 and I am particularly delighted to be able to include a report from our newest member, the Portuguese Colour Association.Near the end of her report Paula gives the sad news that the colour community has lost two very prominent scientists, Fred W. Billmeyer, Jr. and Vera Golob. I am glad to be able to include tributes to them both
AIC Annual Newsletter 2004
No full textSpecial Feature:The Newsletter contains a report on the very successful Midterm Meeting in Bangkok, Thailand. On a personal note, it was a great pleasure and privilege for me to represent AIC President Paula Alessi during the meeting and, especially, to present the AIC Deane B Judd Award to Prof Mitsuo Ikeda on her behalf. Mythanks to Aran Hansuebsai and Frank Rochow for sending the photographs which accompany the report.Revised procedure for distribution of the Newsletter:As announced in President Paula Alessi’s Report, a new procedure has been agreed for the distribution of the AIC Newsletter. The representative of each memberorganization will receive one copy only but will also receive a CD with a printable version. This will save costs, but will also make it easier for each member organization to reprint the Newsletter for local distribution. Single copies will be sent, as usual, to Observers and others who normally receive a copy of the Newsletter.Upcoming AIC meetings:The Newsletter contains details of the next AIC meeting, which will be held in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in November this year, and details of our next Congress, which will be held in Granada, Spain, in May 2005
AIC Annual Newsletter 2003
No full textSpecial Features:This issue of the AIC Newsletter contains some special features in addition to the usual reports. I would like tothank all those who have sent contributions, especially José Luis Caivano for preparing the summary historyof the AIC and the team of Vera Golob, Slava Jeler and Zoran Stjepanovic for their excellent account of lastyear’s AIC meeting on ‘Color and Textiles’ in Maribor, Slovenia. The account of the Maribor meeting is included in the report from the Slovenian Colorists Association and this is complemented by a page of ‘Memories from Maribor’. The smile on President Paula Alessi’s face is a perfect reflection of the delight we felt at such an enriching experience where scientific, social and cultural stimulation were so well combined.AIC Deane B. Judd Award:Another special feature of this issue is the announcement of the winner of the AIC Deane B. Judd Award for 2003. I would like to express my appreciation to those who prepared documentation in support of their nominations for the award and especially to the members of the Award Committee for their very careful consideration of the nominees.

AIC Annual Newsletter 2002
No full textFirst I would like to thank all those who sentcontributions to this Newsletter. My knowledge ofthe AIC has been limited in the main to what Ihave learnt at our congresses and other meetings.It was inspiring, and something of a revelation, toread about the extensive activities within themember organisations.I would also like to thank Marnee Rinaldi,honours graduate in graphic design from CurtinUniversity of Technology, who helped me withfine tuning of the design and preparation of thefiles for the printer.Since the contributions were sent to me inelectronic form it has been possible to establish astandard format for the Newsletter. I have notpresumed to edit the text of any of thecontributions beyond some very minor changes.In a few instances I have also made some minoradjustments to the order, and I have added someheadings. In some cases the internet did strangethings to the accents on certain letters.Comparison with hard copies enabled me tocorrect some of these but there are also someauxiliary symbols which I am not able to find inthe program I use. I hope readers will accept myapologies for any errors that remain
