Interaction of Color

Published in 1963, "The Interaction of Color" caused a wave of controversy about the author's innovative approach to understanding color and the visual perception of things. Some considered it a bold experiment, while others criticized it for departing from traditional teaching methods. But one thing is certain, Josef Albers, one of the members of the Bauhaus artistic pantheon, changed the approach to understanding color - the most relative medium in art, according to him. In this book he demonstrated such principles as the relativity of color, intensity, and temperature; jittery and contrasting borders; optical illusions of transparency and volume. The most comprehensive, this edition invites readers to solve basic color problems and thus train their vision and thinking.
