ABOUT: This fourth volume in the popular Color Library Series edited by Faber Birren is a simplified and condensed presentation of Johannes Itten's major work, The Art of Color. It brings you his famous color teachings in an easy-to-under-stand way and in a format convenient for ready reference on desk or easel. Itten's approach to color has great appeal for here and now. In a chapter on "Subjective Timbre" he calls for personal feeling, for expression from within. He sheds intriguing light on color symbolism, on relationships between color and shape, on psychic and emotional values ex-pressed by color. He observes a relationship between music and color, and he also gives sound advice on color mixing, harmonious order, spatial effects, and composition. Throughout the book he suggests color exer-cises to give students color control in the same way that practicing scales gives facility to pian-ist or singer. In this way, the student will know what he is doing when attempting creative work, instead of floundering in trial and error. Practical understanding of the world of color is needed in almost all areas of life today. This small book will give greater confidence and a broader base to everyone working with color in any field from architecture to advertising, from fashion to photography. It will be particularly useful to art teachers and, above all, to the artists themselves. Twelve pages in full color and many black-and-white illustrations from the large work illu-inate the text.
