Building on the chromatic experiments of figures like Sir Isaac Newton, the impressionists, and Josef Albers, Cruz-Diez explored the perception of color as an autonomous reality evolving in space and time, unaided by form or support, in a perpetual present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Originally published in Spanish in 1989, \u003ci\u003eReflection on Color\u003c\/i\u003e details Cruz-Diez’s theories of color and traces the aesthetic and conceptual evolution of his practice. Though the book was translated into English in Cruz-Diez’s lifetime, it never saw broad distribution. In this text, Cruz-Diez explores eight of his major investigations into color phenomena, including his signature \u003ci\u003ePhysichromie\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eChromosaturation\u003c\/i\u003e series. Generously illustrated with examples of Cruz-Diez’s work, this important text introduces Cruz-Diez’s writing and thinking to a new generation of artists and scholars. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Distributed for the Cruz-Diez Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40738772287585,"sku":"9780300272123","price":26.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28164053.jpg?v=1722450530","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780300272123-reflection-on-color","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
