Review

"The art book of the decade. . . Absolutely stunning. If you know anybody who loves color, or art, or ever took a color class at art school, or just has bibliophilic tendencies, they will remember you fondly forever if you give it to them."--Felix Salmon, Reuters

"The magnificent presentation of this edition will continue to make this book indispensable to the next generation of art students and teachers alike."--Douglas F. Smith, Library Journal

"Josef Albers's Interaction of Color stands alone among color theory books: a classic that never fails to surprise with its continued relevance."-- Imprint

"The three-volume set of Josef Albers's seminal work of color theory is a delight to page through, whether [one] is an artist or just deciding what color to paint the bathroom."-- New York Magazin e, "Expensive Gifts for Dads That Are Actually Worth It"

Description from the back cover of the book

One of the most influential books on color ever published, Josef Albers' "Interaction of Color" is a masterwork. This book replicates Albers' revolutionary exercises, explaining concepts such as color relativity and vibrating and vanishing boundaries through the use of color, shape, die-cut forms, and movable flaps.
