About the book >.>.> For over forty years Interaction of Color has been a best-selling book demonstra- bly altering the lives of its readers all over the world. It brings infinite personal pleasure while perpetually expanding the way that colors are used and perceived in art architecture textiles interior design and graphic media at every level of technology. But when it was initially published Interaction was like everything Josef Albers did a brave experiment and like all forays into the unprecedented it was the subject of controversy. For the most part Interaction was highly praised but occasionally the response was far from laudatory. Writers vary in their responses to negative criticism-some say- ing it is fine since all that counts is the amount of coverage others feeling stung Josef Albers who saw himself as something of a martyr to modernism both regret- ted the attacks and was intrigued by them. Part of the fascination of being blasted was that it confirmed that he had really startled people and taken them beyond their normal comfort zone. Ever since he had left a world where art was practiced in an acceptable academic way-in the academies of Berlin and Munich and in the public education system in which he taught in his native Westphalia-and gone to the Bauhaus he had known what it was to inspire such controversial response.
