Anders Hård has passed away Doctor honoris causa and color
researcher Anders Hård passed away 6th March 2009 at
the age of 86. In the early sixties he started the research about how the
human being perceives color. The aim was to develop a universal language to
denote and describe colors. The unique approach —his phenomenological way of
looking upon colors— made it possible for him to verify theories that Ewald
Hering had published almost hundred years earlier. After several years of
psychophysical research Hård in collaboration with Gunnar Tonnquist and Lars
Sivik were able to present a color order and scaling system named the NCS - Natural
Color System, and a color atlas. After the Scandinavian Institute was founded
in 1978 he was working full time with color research and color education. He
continued to conduct interdisciplinary research on color and spread knowledge
about this subject to practitioners from a wide variety of fields. He was
associate research professor at the environmental design department of the
architectural section at Chalmers University of Technology. Research about
color did engage him far after he was retired. In the sixties, Anders was one
of the forerunners of the AIC,
which had its first congress in Stockholm 1969. He had his
first paper about NCS at the color congress in Luzern 1965 and since then he
had lectured and given papers at most of the AIC congresses and meetings. He
arranged the most appreciated and memorable AIC Forsius Symposium on Color
Systems in Kungälv 1983. For the scientific work, Hård together
with Tonnquist and Sivik got the AIC Judd Award in 1997. He
was curious and followed color science to his death. He attended the AIC
Interim Meeting 2008 in Stockholm, and his latest work is published in the
new book Colour for architecture today by Byron Mikellides. We keep
his lifework in mind. |
