![]() ![]() In the introduction to this book Albers writes, “color deceives continually.” It was remarkable to see the many “deceptions” I discovered within these limitations. My working palette was limited to about thirty colors of Assuan and Cialiux cloth and the explorations confined to tiny pieces clipped from swatch books. Using Albers’s approach, I created the new covers through experimentation with materials available for the bookbinding process: foil stamping on cloth or cloth inset into cloth. He encouraged the use of cutouts from magazines, wallpaper, paint samples, wrapping and bag papers, and waste strips from printers and bookbinders. ![]() Albers preferred this to paint because the color was available instantly and not subject to the variations of paint. Albers and his students used colored paper sets that contained hundreds of colors. However, the publisher wanted the covers to be a contemporary and enticing new addition. This two-volume set replicates the 1963 original Interaction of Color. ![]() Yale University Press | The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation ![]()
