First published as a textbook at Yale University and also offered as a class at the University of Minnesota School of Architecture, Albers, in place of systems, developed an “experimental way of studying color and teaching color.” It’s a method based on the idea that only by observing color in the push and tug and pull of context can one begin to understand the nature of color.
“In Albers’s universe, color seduced, beguiled, ‘schwindled’, and these characteristics made color the most fascinating of art’s formal elements. Albers’s passion for color prompted his decision to launch what was possibly the first full-blown course in color ever given anywhere, and certainly the first based exclusively on direct observation of color’s behavior. . . . Color behaved. Color was magic.”
Absolutely fascinating.
