Customer Reviews

Very interesting overview of how artists think about color.

I thought this book was great. Of course, the best book on color is Josef Albers--Interaction of Color, but this is a worthy companion. Interesting to read how artist's perceptions and ideas of color have evolved over time. Good for artists, as well as non-artists, and will get you thinking about color in a new way. Recommend.
