I highly recommend seeking out these books, and if possible, adding them to your physical book collection. Reading, viewing and studying Albers' Interaction of Color, and Johannes Itten's The Art of Color, is an empowering experience for anyone who desires a deeper awareness of art and design. What is "the relativity of color"? Stated simply, the identity of a color depends on its situation: the light values and hue contrasts of the background and adjacent colors the amounts, shapes, placements and boundaries of the colors. In Interaction of Color, Albers eloquently expresses this essential color theory principle: "a color has many faces," and "what counts is not the what but the how." The goal of all the color illusion experiments was, and is, to make us hyperaware of "the relativity of color." The color illusion assignments that Albers gave us have become icons of the art school experience: These color projects, recently created by my Visual Language students, are based on color experiments originally taught by the painter, designer, writer and teacher, and my hero, Josef Albers.
