Hannah Strong's Book on Wes Anderson's Color Palettes Published by Hoëbeke

Hannah Strong, a Sheffield-born author, editor, and critic now based in London, has released her second book, "Le cinéma de Wes Anderson, Répertoire de couleurs," through the French publisher Hoëbeke. The volume examines Wes Anderson's complete filmography through the lens of color, analyzing how each film's palette contributes to its visual identity. Strong traces the evolution from the restrained tones of Bottle Rocket to the vivid primaries of The Royal Tenenbaums, and highlights Anderson's recurring use of yellow, vintage hues, and pastel shades reminiscent of chocolate boxes. The book features numerous film stills and a chromatic palette of nearly 100 colors, offering readers a fresh perspective on Anderson's work. Strong's first book, Sofia Coppola: Forever Young, was published in 2022. She serves as digital editor for Little White Lies magazine and works as an arts journalist across print, online, radio, and television. Her fascination with Anderson began with The Royal Tenenbaums, the first of his films she saw. She lives in London with her cat, Margot. The publication is available now from Hoëbeke.
