Interaction of Color is, by far, the best book on color I’ve ever read. Other teaching methods focus on theory, color systems, the physics of color (wavelength, rods and cones, etc.), or resort to rote rules like, "red means danger." It’s mechanical, mathematical, rules-based, and divorced from how people perceive and react to color.

Interaction of Color. There are only 4 physical colors on this page. Color, it's all relative. I taught a course titled Color & Design for many years and basically followed Albers Interaction of Color, the 1972 Yale University paperback along with my own experience in graphic design. (I could not afford the full addition, too expensive.) I have dumped many of the course outlines I had written and taught over the years but not my Color & Design competency-based outline. That goes on my funeral pyre along with my mechanical drafting tools, pica ruler and my collection of #0 Kolinsky sable brushes. (Now who would know today what a pica ruler is?) So I am interested in following the history of teaching color. A major trail goes back to Vkhutemas. Popova, Itten who had been such an influence at the Bauhaus after he left Russia, El Lissitzky and others who were students and teachers there. Popova headed the Colour Construction Studio of Vkhutemas. Notes for jingyunlu First, Futura is best used from the European version and set using German especially, as that was what the face was designed for, the German language. Today there are many electronic Futura faces out there, but they are just not as effective as the hot type original German version, setting type in the German language. My two favorite type faces are Bembo and Univers. That's all I really need.

Every now and then, I need a break. I just want to be quiet and look at something cool for while. Enter Josef Albers' Homage to a Square.
L'apprendistato e' l'inizio - quei primi anni in cui si lavora a bottega, nel senso europeo del termine: gli anni in cui si e' "apprendisti". Tre o quattro anni. Poi si diventa "viaggiatori": si puo' andare da un maestro all'altro a imparare trucchi e segreti. (Josef Albers)

Ein Werk, das Peter Halleys Arbeit wie kaum ein zweites beeinflusst hat, wurde vom Künstler, Kunsttheoretiker und -Lehrer Josef Albers geschrieben: „Interaction of Color“. Von seinem radikalen Potential hat das Buch trotz Op-Art-Inflation wenig verloren.
