Interaction of Color: Revised Expanded Edition

A chance to read and learn about the early theories in Modern Art. An
insight into Op art and Albers theories

Great respource

Key book (with color-aid colored papers) for learning the nuances of color for the artist.

Good for exploration

Albers provides a series of explorations and experiments for the reader to follow. If you have the resources to perform the experiments as directed, this will probably be a wonderful book. I did not, so I cannot evaluate that aspect.

While not as comprehensive as some other books on color theory, Albers scores points by covering several subjects that are not as well represented in those other books.

Definitely recommended for anyone looking to build a comprehensive library on color theory.

Wonderful Book!

This is an incredible resource for people really serious about learning the dynamics of color. You will get the most out of it by actually doing the exercises - it won't help nearly as much if you just read it and look at the examples. I highly recommend it!

Interaction of Color

This book came in perfect condition and without delay. Thanks for the great service.

Josef Albers?s Interaction of Color is a masterwork in twentieth-century art education. Conceived as a handbook and teaching aid for artists, instructors, and students, this timeless book presents Albers?s unique ideas of color experimentation in a way that is valuable to specialists as well as to a larger audience.
Originally published by Yale University Press in 1963 as a limited silkscreen edition with 150 color plates, Interaction of Color first appeared in paperback in 1971, featuring ten representative color studies chosen by Albers. The paperback has remained in print ever since and is one of the most influential resources on color for countless readers.
This new paperback edition presents a significantly expanded selection of more than thirty color studies alongside Albers?s original unabridged text, demonstrating such principles as color relativity, intensity, and temperature; vibrating and vanishing boundaries; and the illusions of transparency and reversed grounds. Now available in a larger format and with enhanced production values, this expanded edition celebrates the unique authority of Albers?s contribution to color theory and brings the artist?s iconic study to an eager new generation of readers.
