Josef Albers’s classic Interaction of Colour is a masterwork in art education. Conceived as a handbook and teaching aid for artists, instructors and students, this influential book presents Albers’s singular explanation of complex colour theory principles.
 
Fifty years after Interaction’s initial publication, this anniversary edition presents a significantly expanded selection of close to sixty colour studies alongside Albers’s original text, demonstrating such principles as colour relativity, intensity, and temperature; vibrating and vanishing boundaries; and the illusion of transparency and reversed grounds. A celebration of the longevity and unique authority of Albers’s contribution, this landmark edition will find new audiences in studios and classrooms around the world.

The landmark 1963 book by Josef Albers isn’t just for aspiring artists. Its mesmerising illustrations are a revelation for anyone interested in colour theory and human perception.
