A Masterpiece Book on Color Theory Is Now on the iPad


When Josef Albers published Interaction of Color in 1963, it was nothing less than the gateway to an entire way of thinking. First, there was its size: The original edition was massive (about as big as a turntable and as heavy as a 20-pound dumbbell) and it wasn’t really a book. Interaction of Color was more a hands-on kit, with its collection of more than 150 printed silkscreen color studies, a corresponding book of commentary and second book delving into Albers’ famous color philosophy, that were all meant to be sprawled out on a table and interacted with as a way for students to learn about the relationships between colors.
