Building on the chromatic experiments of figures like Sir Isaac Newton, the impressionists, and Josef Albers, Cruz-Diez explored the perception of colour as an autonomous reality evolving in space and time, unaided by form or support, in a perpetual present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in Spanish in 1989, \u003ci\u003eReflection on Color\u003c\/i\u003e details Cruz-Diez’s theories of colour and traces the aesthetic and conceptual evolution of his practice. Although 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 colour 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDistributed for the Cruz-Diez Foundation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464184447212,"sku":"9780300272123","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300272123-reflection-on-color.jpg?v=1775040540","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/reflection-on-color-by-carlos-cruz-diez-9780300272123","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
